Nicknames
 

BUFFALO SOLDIER!
 

My nickname is "Buffalo Soldier" and one of the reasons is because as the only black pledge in my chapter that year, I was sent to the frontier of uncharted territory. My Big, who named me, said I had a soldier's qualities, such as strength, patience, enthusiasm, etc.

I have a few other aliases, but those shall remain unstated. :)

Can I Answer!?
 

My line name is "C.E.O." for a lot of reasons I won't get into here
:eek: :p :D
But since I was on the very first line, I actually got to choose my own name. The pledge lines after me...weren't so lucky! The big sisters choose names for them.

I had a question though. Do ya'll do lines @ your school, hence the line numbers? Do you guys sport that on your pari?

Nicknames
 

My nickname is "Silent Night" I was the quietest pledge but as a brother I plan to outlive my nickname.

Yeah we sport our numbers..
 

Yep we wear our numbers and names on our para.

Yeah I was a little extra as a pledge:p :D

same here
 

Mu Alpha definitely has pledge lines, but not all of us wear para. We don't ALL go out and get crossing jackets as a line, but part of that is because we're not at an especially Greek campus. :(

Also
 

As I'm sure you know, gamma_girl, a lot of APO chapters nickname (without pledgelines) and a handful of non-HBCU chapters do line up.

What's REALLY interesting to me is when I went to my first national conventions, I saw MAAAADDDDD heads wearing letters with nicknames. . .but instead of line numbers, they wear their chapter numbers! Meaning, instead of a 2 or 9 like me and Astute, they would have like 67, 152, or 348!

It's just another example of our organizations' regional differences, like i was mentioning in another thread. Personally, I wouldn't want my chapter number on my 'nalia. . .because too many fools would ask me if I was number 778 on my line. :)

Cool
 

Oh alright ya'll. I was just wondering how that all went. Gamma Sig chapters are the same way, where they may have a nickname but not actually a "line number".

I went to a Conference once in one of our districts, and I as well as another soror had our line jackets on...now at my chapter, we go all out with ours, so when we went we got a lot of "oohs" and "ahhs". Sorors were trying to lean out of their chairs trying to catch a peek...I was more like, "settle down". You, too, can have one!

The average jacket @ my chapter cost close to $200, but we wear the h*ll out of them! :p

BTW, I'm a #7 on my line of 12...but I'm only 5'5. That meant I had like 6 midgets in front of me :D

I am nicknamed Ghetto Fabulous. My big bros. Megan named me that b/c, like her, I had ghetto tendencies ( I'm also the only chocolate member in my chapter) and was truly a fabulous pledge. I led in service hours and was rumored to be a desirebale among the brothers. They loved me, lol.

Notorious
 

I have two line names given to me. 1. Notorious. The definition of thw ord is "well-known but unliked by many" (Nuff Said). 2. No Limit I got that name because we had some garbage with our line that I personally took upon myself to sweep up and throw out. I have a third nickname given to me by the colony that I helped to start...MAMA. :D
Notorious/No Limit #4
Usually though when people ask me why i have two names I tell them it is because there is "No Limit" to what I am Notorious $.

My line name is Black and Mild. They named me that because that's what I smoke. Most people think I'm a dark skinned brother because of my line name well I'm not! I'm as light as they come:p

It is!? :confused:
Where is at? :D

Yes
