Old Skool, East Coast in da' house!
Well, let's see...
We had a probate show when I was on line. If the show is held BEFORE you cross, it is a probate show; now shows are held AFTER you cross so it is a coming out show.
I had never heard of a neophyte party until recent conversations with midwest sorors. We also did not have the pledge mother/daughter tradition but we do/did have speshs. Reading 'Sister Secrets' and 'Sorority Sisters' gave me another perspective on pledging and also conjured up some memories of my time [sic]!
I also hadn't heard the term 'ship' until the last few years however it is ironic that my line literally was a ship. My line was the Starship Enterprise (much of my chapter were Trekkies!); and I was Dr. McCoy (hence the screenname).
We also didn't use the term Rock or Anchor but we did use Ace and Tail. All three of us were almost the same height so I ended up being the Deuce in the middle.
Ahhhhhh memories....
Also Sorors, the term Dirty Reds or just Reds began as a regional thing because even though I pledged in Baltimore, I had not heard the term until I went South. Now I hear it all over the place but I don't like it because it sounds like a gang, ie Bloods. I know some sorors think it's okay because mostly the Bruhs use it as a term of affection. What do you guys think?
