You know you're a Theta when...

[ThetaDancer]

I saw this post on a few other forums and thought it would be fun to do for the Thetas, as well. I'll start:

You know you're a Theta when...

Your class notes are covered in doodles of kites.

Most of your t-shirts and sweatshirts have letters on them, but you're always wanting more!

Whenever you hear of a famous Theta, you get really excited and think "She was a Theta tooooooo!"

You find yourself signing everything "Theta Love"

You start collecting anything you can find with pansies on it.

Maaaan, this is so true... I went through a bunch of old notebooks (all of them, in fact) to recoup some of the useable paper from them, and every single one of them from classes I took after I initiated has black kites, gold kites, pink kites, silver kites... a stupid amount of kites.

I also do the 'oooh she was a Theta!' thing ... drives my (non-Greek) mom crazy!

When you have your babies, the only songs you can think to sing them are Theta songs!

Once or twice a year, you type "pansy" into the eBay search engine to see what pops up.

Oh yes, I DO that!!!

I memorized a Theta speech that I had to give from memory last summer, while I walked dogs every afternoon (my business). Now I still say the speech to myself as I walk... it is just automatic & I can't turn it off in my head!

And whenever I hear Sheryl Crow on the radio, I have to tell my hubby "She is a Theta!" and turn it WAY up

[pistachio]

I totally do the kite doodling thing as well. Kites, kites with twinstars, kites with letters... I'm all over the place with the Theta doodles .

Also, the shirt thing. I have about a million shirts that have letters on them somewhere, and I'm always really excited when we get new ones! Silly, how many Theta shirts do I really need, right?

I also randomly break out into recruitment songs (usually it's just in my head, though so it's ok) and then they get stuck in my head for hours...

And the "SHE'S A THETA" really bugs my non-greek family/ friends as well... oh well, what can you do?

[ThetaPrincess24]

I do all of those things! I dont do the eBay deal that much anymore though because I'm in the process of redoing my living room, a bathroom, and another room in my house, so I'm saving cash.


I've bought boxes of tissues eventhough I didnt need them because there were pansies or kites on the boxes.

i'm always on the look out for pansy and kite magnets for my fridge.

I get the Theta magazine 4 times a year and stop everythign I'm doing and read it cover to cover as soon as I get it(yes I even read every name in the back of those who have donated money).

The "Theta Doodles" are a big one. Since I'm going back to school I still do that.............kite doodles, pansy doodles, badge doodles, and different ways of writing our letters.

As I said in another thread here, The first time I saw the pansy shower curtain in Walmart, I bought it! My bathroom is decorated with that Pansy shower curtain, a Theta candy jar that I keep q-tips in, a ceramic Theta pin box that I keep bobbi pins in, and two soaps with our letters on it as well for decor.

I still have pictures throughout my house of me and my sisters at various events/gatherings doing various things

I made a scrapbook of my first year in Theta. A scrapbook of my remaining time as an undergraduate member is on the agenda, as well as starting a scrapbook documenting my Alumnae time.

(I'm also thinking about getting a trunk to store all my Theta stuff in for my future Theta legacies heheh!)

[meheron]

Your at Disney world with some sisters (Keep in mind Im from Indiana) and you point out every pansy that you see

[thetalady]

Here I am, 20 years out of college, and what just MADE my day today?? I found a bee-yooty-ful, hooked rug with big black & yellow & deep purple pansies ON SALE!!

What more could I ask for?

I just love Ross. It's like an Easter Egg hunt every time I go there!

I've had a pansy bathroom in every single house/apt/location after I graduated from college.

The most current bathroom is really nice.. it's painted a lavendar color with white trim. to decorate I have a pansy shower curtain, a pansy light fixture (found it in a designer catalogue), pansy basket to hold extra TP, and all kinds of pansy framed items hung on the walls. oh, and patti, I have a pansy rug too.

The framed stuff is the most fun 'cause I have quite the assortment: std georgia o'keefe poster, antique pansy seed packets, antique pansy crate label, antique pansy can label (for melons), antique pansy print, antique pansy postards... I found a pansy choclate mold which is hung as well.

It's the one room that my husband has no decorating veto power.

I sang (and still do sometimes) Theta songs to both of my kids when they were babies.

And my 14 month old little girl has a "jersey" that a non-greek friend of mine made for her (although I guess technically she shouldn't wear the letters if she doesn't know that they stand for) and a little outfit with a kite on it.

Talk about collecting pansies - when I was a collegian I had a pansy bra and panties!

And yes, I drive everyone with my "Oh she's a Theta" thing, too.

[ThetaPrincess24]

HAHAHAHA! pansy panties...............i forgot i actually have a pair of pansy panties i bought from Victoria's Secret.......I dont think they had a matching bra though cuz I know i wouldve bought it had i seen that too

[Greekgrrl]

*cough*

They did have a matching bra, although both the bra and panties were really impractical.

I had the set. I was working at VS just after I initiated.

I actually bought every single permutation of the pansy underwear they had. It wasn't pretty

Look what I found!

Pansy Switchplate

I like that! If I can find a place to put that in my house I may just buy that!

[bluefish81]

Over the weekend I was in Breckenridge for a Theta wedding and there were pansies EVERYWHERE. My sisters and I kept pointing them out to each other. And I took some cute pics of some of them too!
I also do the "She's a Theta" thing to no end. It probably drives everyone nuts....
