tattoos

A few girls in my chapter have gotten sisterhood-related tattoos, but I can only think of one of our members who has our letters tattoo'd on her. We have a member with a tattoo of the twin stars, too. I don't know if there is anything to back this up, but a Theta tattoo is jokingly considered a "kiss of death" in our chapter, meaning you'll end up resigning for some reason before you graduate if you get one. Neither of the girls I know have resigned, they're wonderful members.

I would never get a tattoo of our letters though, because of what you aren't supposed to do in them. I would feel bad drinking "in letters" even if no one could see them. And nakey-time things. Just seems odd, like there are some things your letters shouldn't see haha. Not to say that we shouldn't always be representing Theta, I just mean the technical things that you should not be doing while wearing letters.

That is hilarious.

Didn't you know that when you wear your letters, the founders are watching?

My favorite photo of Bettie Locke Hamilton!

I will do some research as to whether it is permissible to have a tattoo of our Greek Letters. The Fraternity is protective of its brand and all related use of the Coat of Arms, letters, etc. I do know an alum who has a tiny kite tattoo, which is really cute and very subtle.

I once told a friend who was interested in getting a tattoo to get an ankle bracelet with letters and wear it for a month. If at any time during that month you think of some reason to take it off - then you are not ready to commit to a tattoo. Didn't make it two weeks with the anklet.

This was after another friend of mine had a tattoo on her foot removed and wound up on crutches for a couple of weeks because they could not remove it completely with the laser and the incision to remove the rest of it did not heal properly.
