equeen actually has nothing to do with my the greek aspect of my identity. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Part of the E-Week (Engineers Week) tradition at OU is to vote for St. Pat (the senior who has contributed the most to E-Club and the College) and a Queen (in the modern era, we choose a King as well). The CoE student body voted for yours truly to be Queen in 1999.

This was a big deal, both for me personally, as well as in the context of the Tradition of Sooner Engineering. To elaborate, the Tadition has spanned several decades. It revolves around student involvement in Engineers' Club.

E-Club hosts a lot of events throughout the year, including a Fall Festival (which introduces freshman & transfer students to all the student clubs within the College), Open House which is a day-long math/science/engineering competition for high school students), and Engineers Week (which coincides with Nat'l Engineers Week, but is tailored to our OU traditions, and is mostly social in nature). Additionally, E-Club holds hamburger feeds during home football games. Finally, some students are chosen to serve in LKOT - the Loyal Knights of Old Trusty, a secret society of engineering students. Their primary function is to serve the College in anonymity. Our is the only College at OU that has its own shield. Ours is also the only College which has delegates for Homecoming Royalty.

I've been involved in nearly all aspects of the Sooner Engineering Tradition - I've worked nearly every hamburger feed for the past three years, and served as an officer and a member-at-large of E-Club for the past five years. It's been a great deal of fun, and between my involvement in A.S.K. and E-Club, I would say I've had a lifetime of learning and growing. So it was an honor and a privilege when my fellow students chose me to be their Queen.

I'm also proud to be an E-Queen because several of my friends (including two Sisters) have been E-Queens (one of them is
Artimis http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif). What I'm most proud of, however, is how much fun my friends had with it. Several of my guy friends will never let chivalry die - and they had fun being my self-appointed knights. (I even had a self-appointed court-jester, and that was just too funny). I really got a kick out seeing how much fun they were having addressing me as "m'lady" or "your royal highness." My friends had fun with it, and that's what really made it special for me. At their urging, I changed my university email alias to "equeen," and kept it as such until the next E-Week. I remember signing on to greekchat just before my reign was up, so kept the handle. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

bucutie02 01-16-2001 04:24 PM

okay lifesaver- here i go http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
I picked bucutie02 because I went to baylor university(BU) and I wanted to have a "cute" name so I came up with bucutie... and the 02 WAS supposed to be the year I was going to graduate in, but now it will be 03 hopefully! I guess i need a new one since i am no longer at baylor nor am i graduating in 2002. I guess if the "bu" was capitalized it would be more self explanatory. Oh, and I know why shopgirl has that name- i guessed it the first time I replied to her posts'. Didnt you ever see "You've got mail" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Mine is pretty simplistic. It's a combination of my two daughter's names.

Jazlin and Bria - hence

jazbri

I combined the two because their nicknames are Jaz and Bri.

I'm thinking of getting personalized tags that say that.

Corbin Dallas 01-16-2001 11:56 PM

Mine's probably pretty self explanitory, last name Corbin. When I was a freshman, this one senior started calling me that, and introduced me as Corbin Dallas at parties. I had no idea where it was from, until he told me it's from the 5th Element, so I rented the movie, not too bad. Anyway, I used to go by Ambo66 in high school, and the first part of my freshman year, because my car was a 1966 AMC (Rambler) Ambassador, and most of my online time was on car newsgroups. Freshman year, I sold the car, and got the nick, so I figured it was time for a change.

UserNames...
 
If it isn't too personal, why did you choose the username that you did? Care to share with us what it means? If not, cool. I was just wondering after looking at them since June. I'll go first. lifesaver-because I have lifeguarded for the last three years and really like it. (I honestly think I am the world's oldest lifeguard, but where else can I get paid to spend my weekends outside. if I wasn't lifeguarding, I'd spend the weekends asleep on the couch feeling guilty that I wasn't doing anything constructive.)

Come on shopgirl, arya, bucutie,OTW, everyone else who's username isn't self explanitory.

shopgirl 01-17-2001 02:13 AM

Hi Lifesaver...

I love this topic!!! bucutie02 is correct. In fact, I think she made the guess right after I had posted for the first time under that username. I don't have other usernames, but it's the only one I registered with. I think I use to post under SigKap before we had to register. Anyway, it does come from the movie "You've Got Mail". I absolutely love that movie!!! I couldn't decide what to use for a username and I wanted it to be unique and simple... without using my Org. or my name in it. Of course, when I was watching the movie for the 100th time it dawned on me...shopgirl!!! It was too perfect.

Thanks for asking.

ZChi4Life 01-17-2001 04:03 AM

oohh fun topic, even though mine is probably self explanatory. But just in case...
ZChi is actually supposed to be "Z-Chi" which is my sorority's nickname (my sorority is called Zeta Sigma Chi, hence we are the Z-Chi's)
Then you add 4 + Life b/c I will definitely be a Z-Chi 4 Life! So just smush it together and you get ZChi4Life! Ta da! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Thank you, thank you! No applause please! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
