Apparently referring to new members as babies is not going away anytime soon. Pull up #bidday on Twitter, and it's full of "can't wait to meet the baby..." Deltas, Alphas, Angels, Snakes, Squirrels, Pandas, etc. Although I think this one was kind of funny and different: "I'm a Zeta Potata and I can't get enough of our Zeta Tater Tots." And this is the worst: "all the babies are coming to the litter box today!!!"

that better NOT be Theta. Bettie Locke Hamilton will rise from her grave and there will be hell to pay.

Don't tell me, don't. Just don't.

For the final time: we don't have a mascot. We don't have babies, either.

ETA: she also posted this: "BABY KITTENS... RUN TO YOUR NEW LITTERBOX AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!! THOUGHT THETA, THOUGHT RIGHT! "

Way to represent us. I would be so excited to join an organization that encourages me to use a litterbox. SMH.

Litter box? Good grief. Since when are Thetas called kittens anyway?

Thank you for this, IHQ!

Alpha Gamma Delta ‏@alphagammadelta Getting ready to welcome your new members? We recommend calling them "new members" instead of babies. They are wonderful, intelligent women.

I was thinking to myself "what would be a good name for AGD's NMs?", and the first thing that popped into my head was "their flower is the carnation, maybe they could call them carnies."

Which is WRONG for two reasons.

Okay, clearly I need more sleep.

I figured that some members of Alpha Gamma Delta would refer to their new members (not that this is acceptable or right) as baby squirrels. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to new Phis as baby lions. Have you?
