Calling new members "baby"

[BraveMaroon]

Yeah, I'm done to death with the "baby (insert mascot here)" thing.

Of course, I fought the losing battle all through college to get my sisters to stop referring to themselves (and others) as "girls".

I had no problem being called a pledge - I survived and have no scars mental or physical from that brief time in my life.

But, I'm sure that 20 years from now, there'll be a new trend and the Baby Quatrefoils/Crescent Moons/Palm Trees of today will clutch their pearls in horror and remember the good old days.
