I *KNOW* the thread that you're referring to, because I have been on these boards since the dinosaurs.
I vaguely remember it being about "baby squirrells" and then the discussion went from there.
DG refers to its new members as "Pi Alphas" as that's what it says on the new member pin (i.e. pledge pin) . I think it's commonly accepted as a term and is considered respectful, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if any new members were called "baby Hannahs" or whatever...I'm not a fan of the whole calling young women by the diminuitive of "babies", but maybe if you had asked me when I was my 18 year-old-self and rushing, I might not have minded as much -- it's hard to say....
Trying to find that thread for you now....
