Haha you're right! I never thought about that. Lambda phi xi.. for some reason just doesn't sound as good though

Do founders really get to actually choose their letters? I thought they're given to them.

Btw, the lambda that you know, how old is he? Is he alumni? The reason I ask is that not many lambdas nowadays have those tatoos. In my chapter, me and my linebro were the last to get them (I chose to get the letters instead of the kanji though, and some people tell me it's not as cool)

I also get the impression that all D9 members get tatoos as well (at least the fraternities). Every alpha that I've seen on campus has the letters tatooed, and every omega I see has gotten branded. I don't want to pry, but is it something that all members choose on their own to get? Please tell me if I'm getting too nosy
