We do this every semester. We have our pledge retreat, usually somewhere in the mountains, the pledges get their Big Bros and the Big Bros give them nicknames...some stick most don't, but they all get named. Mine is one of few that has stuck, my Big Bro named me Tweak because of my occasional energetic, odd behavior, I reminded him of Tweek from South Park. Nicknames, in my experience over the last couple of years, if you want them to stick, should be short and easy to say, one word, ect. Examples from my chapter that have stuck is Barf, Myrtle, Shaggy, Lurch, Tweak. But not all one-word names stick. Examples of lame nicknames that no matter how hard you try just dont stick are Radio, Sack, Whammy, El Culo Titre, 9 Ball, Reno, Little Bean. Get to know the guy you're gonna take, look at how he acts, his personality, go from there...or you can just call him Queef...I've always wanted to name a pledge Queef (i dont know if thats how ya spell it, but who cares, it sounds the same)...
