If you get 3" letters, it fits very nicely, but they aren't as widely available as 4" letters.

I think this is soooo funny! I remember thinking the 4" letters were too small. We'd get the 6" letters because they filled out our XL shirts so nicely!!! That way even near sighted people could see us coming a mile away!

As for stupid PNM impressions, I remember visiting the sorority dorm with my sister when I was in high school. AOII was on the bottom floor with Phi Mu. When you walk in the dorm, you can look down the halls and see murals painted on the wall. AOII had a giant rose with a red frame around it. Phi Mu had this massive pink castle which I dubbed the "Magical Pink Castle" and remember telling people looked like someone had vomited Pepto Bismol on Cinderella's Castle. I swore I'd never join such a PINK chapter. In all fairness...they cut me!

If there is significance to the pink castle for Phi Mu...someone clue me in.

Actually, there is significance to it.

First..Pink

And there is a popular song for sisters called "My Phi Mu Castle" (written actually about the house at Delta Beta - UIUC

(for another thread).

It starts out...

I have a Phi Mu Castle
That's filled with treasures old...

WoW that is one PINK house!

Just for fun I checked out their ADPi chapter to see if maybe this was a school-wide thing. Maybe my screen is off... or maybe it's at a weird angle, but I think it's sort of blue??

No it's definitely blue. It is a school wide thing. KD's house is green. Chi O's house is yellow with red shutters. Theta's house is yellow with black shutters. I love those houses.

I think that's pretty cool for the houses to be the group colors. I was picturing what they would do with a SK house. Lavender with maroon shutters or vice versa?

As far as cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons, I know people who have pledged and also not pledged groups based on the (unflattering) nickname others had for the house.

That's good to know I wasn't seeing things! I thnk it's really cool that the houses are painted in sorority colors

Just thought I'd give you guys a funny little update. The girl who "wouldn't join a 3 letter sorority" pledged Alpha Xi Delta. How funny!

Or like when Disney World painted it pink for their anniversary - was it the 25th or 50th? I have no idea anymore...

On the topic though, when I went through rush there was a girl who swore she would only join a chapter whose suite was on the top floor of the panhellenic building. Fortunately for the Greek system, she dropped out of recruitment upon being released by the "top floor."

Good to know...I always wondered. Now if someone could explain the Emerald City mural on the KD's wall that looked like a pile of green...oh well, I won't say!!

I was actually at Disney for that fiasco! I was very disappointed to not be able to see the real castle underneath all that pink stuff!

I actually don't dislike pink like I used to! It actually looks good on me since I'm blonde and extremely fair complexioned.
