Line Names
 
Hi SoRHOrs and Friends,

I am new to the site-- but I am hooked already! :D

I have a situation I want your opinions on: Here is the deal there is a certain sorority that just had a line of girls cross, and their names are HORRIBLE :mad: !!! They had the nerve to name one girl after a fabric. (And no, it isn't SILK!) Here is my question: What would you do if you had gotten such a terrible name? (Did I mention the ship name was a word that means Mistake?) Have you ever encountered someone with a name that just made you shake your head with pity? :rolleyes:

LOL!
 
Yes I have... numerous times. It's up to you what you wanna name your "children" but my goodness, please put some thought into it. I wouldn't want my mother to see my sorority jacket if my name was something derogitory (sp?) or something that suggested drugs/promiscuity, etc.

That's what I try to do with my baby turtles. Before I chose their name, I thought "how would their parents feel if their daughter told them about their line name?" That's just a personal rule of thumb I try to follow.

i know exactly what you are saying
 
i have met some greek brothers and sisters with names that makes you wonder "what did they do to deserve this ? " :eek:


i have met someone with a name of a certain smelly food, and to me that was the worst.

i understand that line names carry a special meaning, but come on!!!

LOL
 
soRHOR, I feel ya!!!!


Like everyone is stating, I know that your name has meaning, but please be considerate.


Ex. I do know someone's whose line name is Doo-Doo Brown:eek:

Why would you want to put that on your jacket? To make it so bad, she did!!!:mad:

Try this on for size!
 
I can bet that!!

This particular sorority at my school had a line where there was one girl that they didn't like, but she was a legacy so I guess they had to let her in (I'm not quite sure about this particular sorority's legacy guidelines). Anyway when they came out (in a club of all places!) They announced her as "She get's it from her moma"! When I heard that story I thought that I would never stop laughing!!

uh oh...
 
Then I had better not say me and my lines name :o :eek:

Sorhors,

Very interesting! Very interesting! That's just another reason to be very careful when you are thinking about joining a particular organization. If they have a history of giving their future sisters and brothers inappropriate names that would make me think twice about how they value me as a future member of their organization.

Serioussigma22:cool:

"...From her Momma"? LOL! Maybe I should spread the word to Spandex that it could be worse.
I stand corrected.

DOVE1920 05-01-2002 11:27 AM

Tarnished Pearl
Molasses

Sorhors .... Listen up because this is to horrible too say twice.....

BLACK B@ST&RD (they spelled it the correct way)!!! I actually saw this "line name" on the back of a newly initiated member of a divine nine fraternity!!! I felt ashamed for him.:eek: :confused: :mad: :(

SeriousSigma22 05-01-2002 06:36 PM

Sorhors and sisterfriends,

Folks really need to check out what they want to affiliate with before they end up receiving some very degrading names and being treated like they are bald headed step sisters and brothers!
All I can say is shame on those greeks that go out to belittle their future sorors and frat. brothers.

Serioussigma22:(
