Your Member Number??

pirate00 · #1 03-04-2002, 02:29 PM

I don't know if any other GLO has this, but on APO's membership cards we have, in writhing, our official number with respect to how many Brothers were initiated before you. For example, I am the 728th initiated Brother in my chapter, and the 301,301st Brother intiated in the Fraternity overall! Does any one else know their numerical place in their GLO?

Hi Pirate,

Although Delta Zeta keeps an official record of each initiated sister at Headquarters, we aren't actually told what our number is. The reason for this is so that younger initiates will not feel "inferior" to the older initiates. This policy has been in place for as long as I've been in DZ, and it is my understanding that it was created to prevent any older sisters from holding their number over the heads of younger sisters.

We have badge numbers and membership numbers. Badge numbers are not private - you could just get anyone's badge number off a badge on ebay but Chi O's - your membership number is private. For the newly initiated- please don't display your membership number here on Greek Chat.

Thank you!
Sue

My chapter # is 69 (yes, I was the 69th initiated sister!)...no jokes

I don't know what my national number is.

LOL! no jokes needed.

I am chapter number 32 but that is just for offical purposes for now. 36 where initated together, and we were in line alphabetically. So I guess maybe my national number might be higher than some people who have a higher chapter number than me

I don't know about your National organization, but many of them use the member and chapter no. as an access key to the member section of their web site. You may want to think twice about providing this type of information. I'm not saying that anything wrong is intended by this thread, but you never know how somebody might use it.

Very good advice. Caution is always a good thing, especially online.

Very true. If your number is kept private for the aforementioned reasons, don't display it here.

I'm the 1507th brother initiated into Theta Kappa Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha. That doesn't count the brothers that were in the local before they joined Theta Kappa Nu in 1925. I think the first 10 initiates were all members of the local that joined TKN, which merged with LCA. I don't know what number I am internationally though.

Exactly what I was thinking h2oot! Good call!
