Question to all Sorority members
 

Out of curiosity, how many members have a brand or would like to to have one?

Speaking as an NPC girl (it said ALL sorority members) I would never ever ever in a million years want one. The pain, the chance of infection, and I personally think that they are not attractive at all.

No. I won't even get a tatoo or pierce my ears more than once. Call me a wussy if you must..........

I'm very pro-body mod, but I'd not get a brand. Personally, good practicioners are very few and far between, and if I'm getting any sort of mod (be it ink,piercing or whatever), I want a professional with a good solid portfolio of work to do it. Not that I don't love my sisters, but I'd not want either of them to be holding a hot poker to any part of my body.

Definitely would not want one.

I don't want my letters ever associated with something painful. They're worth more than that. Plus we have rules about what you can do while wearing letters. How would someone drink at a bar with their letters branded?

NPC POV, but no way in hell.

LOL...you don't even drink DF.

I would never brand my letters. I don't think I would even tattoo my letters.

Well no, but that's besides the point! I like to think of others.

But hello.. OW... no fun.

/btw, we're the annoying ones

No way. I would never get a tattoo or brand of anything, let alone sorority letters.

as an old broad, i have no desire to get one; however when i was young and dumb i considered it.

two older girls in my chapter have small brands (they were seniors when i was a freshman), but no one from my generation has them... but several from my line and later years have tatoos of letters or symbols "inside" other artwork.

Um...ow.

Tattoos hurt a little, but I can't imagine the pain of a brand. I'm very pro body-mod too.

brand....
burning myself?
ouch! :eek:

Translation: HELL TO THE NO!

GROSSSSSSS....

I can't imagine doing that, especially since scarring can be so erratic, it would be hard to say what a brand would actually end up looking like after it fully healed. Add that to the fact that burns are so horribly painful and prone to infection, I would never ever ever get one.

I heard there was a porn star with her sorority letters tattooed on her butt...I think she's a Tri-Sigma? I don't think I'd be too pleased if I were a member of Tri-Sigma nationals!!! :D

I have very sensitive skin that scars a lot anyway, so I don't think a brand would work out so well for me. It would probably look *horrible*.

Why liken yourself to cattle?

Have many tattoos but would never get my letters inked.

Tattoos are great, but brands are fugly.

Umm I'm in a MGLO and there's no way in hell I would get a brand regardless of the organization. That's just absurd to me!

I don't know why but this made me laugh my ass off.

I'll pass. Thanks. :p

A couple of my sisters did have little heart or dove tattoos, but I think even the most liberal among them would draw the line somewhere before branding.

I have to agree with my sister....not for me!!

During my pledge process I had an unfortunate hot glue accident and *branded* the inside of my ankle :eek: Talk about pain!!!!

Brands are trashy.

I'm with the rest of y'all on this. Brands are for cattle, not people.

Even if I liked them, I wouldn't get one - my family tends towards keloids.

Brands Why?
 

Amen to that! :)

Ugh, don't remind me about this!

I have a small violet tat on my ankle, but i got it mostly because the violet (while it was Sigma's flower) was my grandma's favorite flower and we were very close. I am pretty pro inking and mods, but I draw the line at thinking of branding. It just seems like a bad idea to me.

One AXiD at my school had a tattoo of TFJ and her family symbol, a ladybug, on her shoulder. It seemed kinda trashy to me... I dunno.

I've briefly thought about a tattoo with my letters but I couldn't think of a way that I would ever want my grandkids to see. Does that make sense? hehehe.:rolleyes:

I have an ADPi tattoo. I'd have to seriously think a/b a brand though...

Ohmigosh, no way! I've never seen a woman with a GLO brand (or any other brand, for that matter)...I thought only guys did that. :confused:

Two close friends of mine (NPHC) have them, and I was present when they got them done. One of them has more than one. I love my friends dearly, but those brands? Not so much. Plus, the way they were done (technique/location) just didn't seem like a fitting tribute to their sorority.

I was thinking from a marketing perspective - we all have a "brand" to sell! (Apparently NOT what the OP was talking about!).
