Nicknames

[lifesaver]

These aren't the nicest, and I didn't create them, just repeating them. I think we all need to remember the ability to laugh at ourselves. I have listed my fraternity's sometimes nickname below, even though I don't like it, I can laugh at myself. On my campus the names go as follows:

ATO - A T Zero (because they lost a lot of members a few years ago, and they NEVER hang out together on campus- no visibility)

Sigma Phi Epsilon - Shmeg Ep

Lambda Chi - or Lambada Che Alfeeah, how international students call them when they arent sure of the pronounc., other orgs picked it up, or Lambda Cry, because they contested the rules at Greek Week every year.

TKE - TICK (TKE pronounced phonetically)

Sigma Tau Gamma - Sig Taaaaaaau (was pronounced in an asian accent, because they all were engeneering students, an a large % were international students)

FIJI's - JIFI's (someone keeps rearranging their letters on campus to spell JIFI)

Phi Delts - Phi Dorka Theta (complete dorks)

Sigma Nu - Sigma Who? They had about 4 members before they were closed


Sigma Kappa - Snakey K's -(Snake appears on their coat of arms)

Phi Mu- Phi Mooooooo (Their girls arent really big, but nothing gets under a girls skin like a moooo)

A O Pi - A O on my Thigh (Had a rep for being the wild girls)

That's all I can think of. Don't be offended. I actually omitted some of the really mean-spirited ones.

I can't believe some of you people! In a time when public opinion isn't exactly pro greek, we should all be standing together, not putting each other down. How will anybody not in the greek system take you seriously on your campus, if you're calling each other "ho's" "cows" and "pigs?" I completely agree w/ sigmagrrl, that this is not positive for anybody anywhere.

Now, I have no problem with positive names that go with letter's such as AXP -> crows, and Lamb Chops, and I've personally wondered how Skulls got their name, but most of them are rude and some of them are down right racist. I'm glad to see that bigotry is still one of the many traditions that some of your chapters hold onto.

Sentience, how can you degrade a chapter that is so successful, it has 200 men? It seems to me that they are doing something very right. And for all of you that have heard or used "If you can't go Greek, go TeKE," I'll fill you in on the history of that.

When TKE was founded a little more than 100 years ago, we were the first fraternity that did not limit their membership based upon race, creed, or social status, while every other house in existence either did by their actions, or by explicitly stating that in their Nat'l constitutions. So yes, when you're house turned somebody away because they were Black, or Jewish, or poor, or anything else that wasn't just like you, we would take them based only on their character and personal worth. So please continue to use that saying and remind everybody that while your chapter discriminates, TKE holds the same beliefs as the founders of this country, that all men are created equal.
