we keep the stories behind our names secret until the girls are initiated and then at initiation we share the stories of how our names came to be with the new sisters.

Wow! I love that idea! We only have a few girls with nicknames. I tend to give other people nicknames a lot, but no one ever gives me one.
I guess there was really no need for anyone to give me a nickname my first year b/c (oddly enough) I was the only Jessica in the entire chapter. Last fall though, we initiated 3 new Jessicas (ahhhh!), even one with the same last initial as me, so it's really confusing. The 4 of us should all have some kinda nickname b4 next Fall so the new members won't get too confused lol. I know when I pledged there were like 4 Amandas, but most of them had nicknames later on.
One of my sisters, Megan, is ALWAYS called "Mexican" even though she's of Italian heritage lol. The story behind it is that (before I was a member), she and another girl either went to see the movie "The Mexican" w/Brad Pitt or were talking about the movie, and Megan was like obsessed w/Brad Pitt, so they just started calling her "Mexican" all the time. No one ever calls her Megan except during recruitment and more formal events.
All of the fraternities here give most of their pledges nicknames, and theirs are usually b/c of something stupid they did, their last names (or last names warped into something else), or something perverted.
