Then you pledged in the midwest. A friend of mine pledged in Illinois and they referred to each other as ships or shippies also. I never understood the relation of ships to the greek lines.

It seems strange to me to hear that some schools refer to anyone that pledged the same semester as them as their sands, regardless of the organization. When I pledged, the only people that we called our sands were our line sisters that actually crossed the sands with us. Of course that was in 1987, I realize that most organizations probably no longer physically cross burning sands, nor should they (we shouldn't have been doing it either). I just thought that the term sands was reserved for the most intimate of relationships, at least that is how it was in my day.

On the west coast we also use Sands for our linesisters and those who crossed the same year as our paralle sands or DiSTance Sands. I've also heard of ships and shippies and back and front (some VA sorors).

A good question would be, "how much greek lingo currently in use, was originated by the Bruhs?

That is a good question, do you have an answer?

I have an answer, but the question was to the general body. Being that you are '87, I'm sure that you have a good idea

If you have the answer, post it. I want to learn something new today. For real.

I can only think of the obvious, painted boots and brands. I was not trying to be smart, I really wanted your input. You are right, I did pledge in 1987, but I pledged AKA so that is my area of expertise. So, share your input, maybe others will join in as well.

and it's different at campuses because I pledged Zeta Sigma at U of H and we never HEAR "Brickhouse" so we never strut to it. But when "Scarred" comes on, it becomes a death match between us and the AKAs.

That hop that the Kappas were doing in the clip is the very reason why I hated being anywhere near them when I used to go to parties. All that jumping and side-kicking caused a bunch of issues.

LMAO! I didn't recognize any of that stuff (besides the Omegas, who are rather consistent nationwide). I quit watching after the NUPES.
