Hi Brothers,

I was sitting here thinking about how APO chapters pretty much adopt the identities of the campus they exist on, and how Greek terminology fits in there.

For example, as I've said before, my chapter has always had "pledge lines". But we never went through the formality of offering someone a "bid" as other organizations do, yet, I do know of some chapters that do.

So I just wanted to start a thread where we can list our chapter terminology and compare notes. I'll start:


Line/pledge line = pledge class, but ordered by height

Line mate = Line Brother/Line Sister (anyone in your pledge class)

Sands = Anyone who became a member of any Greek organization the same semester as you

Crossing (NEVER "Crossing over") = being initiated

On Line = Pledging

Line Dedication = same as Pledge Class Namesake


We probably have more, but I'll wait to hear others.
