Here's what gets me. When I went through rush 30 years ago, my mother--who was raised next to the U. of Arkansas campus--told me all these same nicknames for the same groups. I remember that my father looked up from his paper and commented that they were the same nicknames he'd heard when he rushed in 1941.

They just never seemed that funny or inventive--for instance, substitute "krappa" for any "kappa" in a group's name, etc. Ha. Ha.
