Nametags

[MaggieXi]

We had name tags and most reflected something about the girls name so we could remember it. Mine was Maggie and I am from Springfield so I had a picture of Maggie Simpson. Another one of my friends, her last name was brown, and she had her first name written out on a big picture of a brown crayon.

Get creative and think of something that will make you memorable in a good way!

I can remember one girl had a hotdog styrofoam container as her name tag. It had nothing to do with her name, she just really liked hotdogs. She became known through out the greek land as "hotdog girl".

Hi, so I am guessing you go to UVA.

I went to VT and we did the same thing with nametags. I don't think anyone really expected talent from the nametags, but thought should be put into it.

Some girls do play on their name, makes it easier to remember and some decorate with interests they have. Its always a great conversation topic if you are trying to talk about things to the PNM.

Personally I was no Martha Stewart or creative so I was trying to think about what represented me. I painted a small square piece of cardboard my favorite color (light blue) and put a picture on it of my family. Honestly people liked it because no one really else had a photo and people kept wanting to look at my cute brothers and my mom (it was a great pic of her).

Oh about not making it obvious on which sorority you prefer in a nametag, I diid a big ooppss on my first day. I honestly had no preference, nor did I know anything about the groups. A friend wanted me to rush with her. I wore my gaurdian angel necklace, which was given to me, and I wore in stressful situations... well of course, Angel - Pi Phi. I honestly fell in love with Pi Phi from the beginning though so it was fate.

on year we used those sponge cut outs that you can buy in the craft section at wal-mart, they just happened to have unicorns. we used puffy paint to print out names. the last year i did it we just went to printing out cute name tags with colored ink!
