Scroll numbers?
I apologize if this has already been discussed (even more apologies if it's been discussed ad nauseum) but a few weeks ago I ran into a young lady who's currently active in the DZ chapter at a nearby college, and she started spouting off her class and scroll number. I had heard of other chapters who named their pledge classes (you know, the Greek alphabet sort of deal) even though we never did, but the number thing really confused me. I was always under the impression that Delta Zeta didn't use scroll numbers. I said so and the girl seemed incredulous that I could be a DZ and not know my scroll number, oh horror! She said, "Don't you ever look at the back of your badge?" Well, just out of curiosity, I got my badge out the other day and looked at it--and all that's on it is my initials, the Greek letters of my chapter, and my initiation date. Plus some little squiggly mark up near the latch that could be something, but probably not. I've been wondering about this since my conversation with this girl, though...have I been in the dark all this time, or am I crazy?
