Theta Question!!!
Hello My Lovely Kittens,
I am a new baby Theta, and I have been on several greek websites. On these websites I have seen that some Theta sign at the end of paragraphs to other Thetas YBM. I was wondering if anyone can private message me the meaning of that phrase. I can definitely prove that I am a Theta by answering any questions via private message.
Thanks,
Sarah

Can't say for sure, as I'm not a Theta, but it might be something you learn after you initiate? Congrats on joining, I've heard nothing but amazing things about your org!
*Back into my lane*

Just a thought -- why don't you ask some of your chapter sisters instead of asking on an internet forum?

My thoughts exactly. 
Also, I cringe at the word "kittens" being used to describe new Thetas. Ick.

Agreed.
This phrase, FWIW, has zilch to do with initiation.
Since when do we have "babies"? Bettie Locke was very much opposed to mascots, according to everything I've read or been taught.

Since calling them "pledges" is hazing and apparently damages their self esteem to the point that they can't put on their pants in the morning. Calling them "baby insertmascotheres" is SOOOOOOOOOO much more dignified. 
Incidentally, not just Theta, but across the board. Then again, this is the generation that keeps Hello Kitty in business.

Just out of curiousity, why was she? (If you can share)

The "Theta baby" thing was becoming popular the year after I graduated. Can't say I care for it, but considering new members can't be called "pledges" anymore... whatever floats.
I have never heard the "Kittens" term. Huh.
