Funny sight on campus...

For those of you who are GC regulars, especially those who frequent the Rush forum, it's not uncommon to see a post where the author either is a) refering to sororities in general or b) trying to keep a sorority's identity anonymous. With that said, we often see posts calling chapters "ABC" or "XYZ." Right? Everyone following me here?


Today I went to campus to meet up with one of my old profesors to ask for a grad school recommendation. A girl walked past me with a sweatshirt which had, in big screen-printed letters, "XYZ". I'm pretty sure that was just the brand name of the company who made the sweatshirt, but I found the thought of an XYZ sorority to be very amusing. Just thought I'd share that.

Heh heh heh...I appreciate stuff like that.

My sister (who is 11) says that XYZ means "eXamine Your Zipper"...

Beta Alpha Sigma

A couple years ago there were this group of really snotty girls that did not want anything to do with the sororities on our campus so they formed their own little group and had shirts made. The shirts displayed the Greek letters of Beta Alpha Sigma on top and then underneath it said Bitches Against Sororities. How dumb is that?

Gamma Delta Iota

A group of unaffiliated guys on my campus had sweatshirts made with the Greek letters Gamma Delta Iota, to show that they were Gosh Darn Independents!! They were so funny to see.

Well we just laughed at them because they were "Bitches Against Sororities" and they had Greek letters across their chests. Wearing sorority letters but being against sororities...hmmm, seems a little contradictory to me. I don't think they really thought that one through...

Either they're not around anymore or they have gained a little bit of intelligence and are not wearing the shirts anymore.

Believe me they were BITCHES!!

Once in class, I saw a guy wearing a Kappa Tappa Kegga shirt. I thought it was pretty funny.

There's a "non-greek" girl's organization on my campus called Beta Omega Beta, or BOB. I think they're a little strange, but whatever floats their boat. They supposedly do some kind of social activities, and are extremely anti-greek, and try to play up the kind of sarcastic name of their organization. Their "mascot" is also the pig...again, I'm sure, trying to make fun of greeks.

There's this one hilarious guy on my campus who has been seen sporting a sweatshirt bearing the letters Beta Alpha Delta, Alpha Sigma Sigma. I'm sure I don't need to explain that This guy is now pledging a fraternity.

The big thing on our campus used to be putting paper letters on your dorm window (the flip-up kind) so everyone could see them from the street. Someone got the brilliant idea to put up "Gamma Delta Iota" letters. It was funny, until about the three dozenth person did it.

I find it funny that people can be so Anti-Greek but yet put such a collective effort into expressing their views.

Phi Delta Llama

There was a group of kids at our school that tried to start an anti-fraternity, Phi Delta Llama. They used the Greek letters, and then a sillhouette of a llama. I guess instead of Lambda?! They never made shirts, just put up a bunch of fliers for an interest meeting.

My personal favorite fake letters are still the guy in the background of one of the scenes in one of the Revenge Of The Nerds movies. You have to look closely, but the letters are "PPP," or as we Greeks would recognize, Rho, Rho, Rho (as in your boat).
