"Paddles"
Don't yell at me if I'm wrong, but I've heard a "rumor" that NPC in all of it's "PCness" is getting rid of the term "Paddles" (within the next year). From what I've heard Chi Omega has already done this....they now have "Owl Boards" and the offical NPC name will be "Wood Boards" (sounds a little redundant to me").
Their reasoning for doing this is "Paddle" is a negative thing and has negative connotations...and of course we're trying to be as PC as possible.
For me....I hate all this PCness...the Paddle is a symbol of the Greek Community...it's the symbol of our Bigs/Littles, our friends, our good times, and I know changing the name isn't going to change that...but Jesu Christe pretty soon we won't be able to be "Greek" because it offends those who are of a Greek orgin...we will be "People Who Wear Greek Letters" and eventually maybe who knows what....going by Engish names??? I know I'm going overboard, but can you see where this could be going?
