You know you're a Theta when...
 

I saw this post on a few other forums and thought it would be fun to do for the Thetas, as well. I'll start:

You know you're a Theta when...

Your class notes are covered in doodles of kites.

Most of your t-shirts and sweatshirts have letters on them, but you're always wanting more!

Whenever you hear of a famous Theta, you get really excited and think "She was a Theta tooooooo!"

You find yourself signing everything "Theta Love"

You start collecting anything you can find with pansies on it.

Re: You know you're a Theta when...
 

Maaaan, this is so true... I went through a bunch of old notebooks (all of them, in fact) to recoup some of the useable paper from them, and every single one of them from classes I took after I initiated has black kites, gold kites, pink kites, silver kites... a stupid amount of kites.

I also do the 'oooh she was a Theta!' thing ... drives my (non-Greek) mom crazy!

When you have your babies, the only songs you can think to sing them are Theta songs!

Once or twice a year, you type "pansy" into the eBay search engine to see what pops up.

Oh yes, I DO that!!!

I memorized a Theta speech that I had to give from memory last summer, while I walked dogs every afternoon (my business). Now I still say the speech to myself as I walk... it is just automatic & I can't turn it off in my head!

And whenever I hear Sheryl Crow on the radio, I have to tell my hubby "She is a Theta!" and turn it WAY up :D

I totally do the kite doodling thing as well. Kites, kites with twinstars, kites with letters... I'm all over the place with the Theta doodles :).

Also, the shirt thing. I have about a million shirts that have letters on them somewhere, and I'm always really excited when we get new ones! Silly, how many Theta shirts do I really need, right?

I also randomly break out into recruitment songs (usually it's just in my head, though so it's ok) and then they get stuck in my head for hours...

And the "SHE'S A THETA" really bugs my non-greek family/ friends as well... oh well, what can you do? :)

I do all of those things! I dont do the eBay deal that much anymore though because I'm in the process of redoing my living room, a bathroom, and another room in my house, so I'm saving cash.


I've bought boxes of tissues eventhough I didnt need them because there were pansies or kites on the boxes.

i'm always on the look out for pansy and kite magnets for my fridge.

I get the Theta magazine 4 times a year and stop everythign I'm doing and read it cover to cover as soon as I get it(yes I even read every name in the back of those who have donated money).

The "Theta Doodles" are a big one. Since I'm going back to school I still do that.............kite doodles, pansy doodles, badge doodles, and different ways of writing our letters.

As I said in another thread here, The first time I saw the pansy shower curtain in Walmart, I bought it! My bathroom is decorated with that Pansy shower curtain, a Theta candy jar that I keep q-tips in, a ceramic Theta pin box that I keep bobbi pins in, and two soaps with our letters on it as well for decor.

I still have pictures throughout my house of me and my sisters at various events/gatherings doing various things :)

I made a scrapbook of my first year in Theta. A scrapbook of my remaining time as an undergraduate member is on the agenda, as well as starting a scrapbook documenting my Alumnae time.

(I'm also thinking about getting a trunk to store all my Theta stuff in for my future Theta legacies heheh!)

Your at Disney world with some sisters (Keep in mind Im from Indiana) and you point out every pansy that you see

Here I am, 20 years out of college, and what just MADE my day today?? I found a bee-yooty-ful, hooked rug with big black & yellow & deep purple pansies ON SALE!!

What more could I ask for? :D

I just love Ross. It's like an Easter Egg hunt every time I go there!

I've had a pansy bathroom in every single house/apt/location after I graduated from college.

The most current bathroom is really nice.. it's painted a lavendar color with white trim. to decorate I have a pansy shower curtain, a pansy light fixture (found it in a designer catalogue), pansy basket to hold extra TP, and all kinds of pansy framed items hung on the walls. oh, and patti, I have a pansy rug too.

The framed stuff is the most fun 'cause I have quite the assortment: std georgia o'keefe poster, antique pansy seed packets, antique pansy crate label, antique pansy can label (for melons), antique pansy print, antique pansy postards... I found a pansy choclate mold which is hung as well.

It's the one room that my husband has no decorating veto power. :)

-Kaokite

I sang (and still do sometimes) Theta songs to both of my kids when they were babies.

And my 14 month old little girl has a "jersey" that a non-greek friend of mine made for her (although I guess technically she shouldn't wear the letters if she doesn't know that they stand for) and a little outfit with a kite on it.

Talk about collecting pansies - when I was a collegian I had a pansy bra and panties!

And yes, I drive everyone with my "Oh she's a Theta" thing, too.

HAHAHAHA! pansy panties...............i forgot i actually have a pair of pansy panties i bought from Victoria's Secret.......I dont think they had a matching bra though cuz I know i wouldve bought it had i seen that too :)

*cough*

They did have a matching bra, although both the bra and panties were really impractical.

I had the set. I was working at VS just after I initiated.

I actually bought every single permutation of the pansy underwear they had. It wasn't pretty ;)

Pansies everywhere!
 

Look what I found!

Pansy Switchplate

Re: Pansies everywhere!
 

I like that! If I can find a place to put that in my house I may just buy that! :)

Over the weekend I was in Breckenridge for a Theta wedding and there were pansies EVERYWHERE. My sisters and I kept pointing them out to each other. And I took some cute pics of some of them too!
I also do the "She's a Theta" thing to no end. It probably drives everyone nuts....
