"Happy Skulls" clothing

[Sock Puppet2]

I know of a girl who dropped at least 3 groups during recruitment because she was creeped by the skulls/bones/spooks in their symbols. I wonder if this happens often?

I've always found skulls creepy, so it sounds like something that I might have done if given the chance...lucky non of the NPCs at my old campus uses them.

I think it depends on how the chapter handles it. My chapter always had two groups of girls, the ones who were big on the sailboats and the ones who preferred skulls/bones. Because of this, we always tended to use violets on most items. We used s&b's on party shirts when we were paired with guys a lot, because most didn't exactly want to wear sailboats or violets around campus. We were also pretty open to questions and explained to all pnm's what it meant (Faithful Unto Death). I think the fact that we didn't try to hide anything or make it seem scary made a huge difference.

I must admit I am a s&b's girl.... I have tons of skull related items. I use them to decorate my classroom at Halloween. The kids just think I am "cool" cause by middle school most are over cute halloween decorations are want something kinda scary. At this point though I get new stuff every year from former students who know I collect. After we finished the school play this year the other director even sent me a pirate flag to hang in my classroom (We did Pirates of Penzance) that was left over from the set!

Yeah, same here. We didn't really use the skulls on recruitment related things, just sailboats, violets, or our local mascot-the rubber ducky. We used them on our Greek Week shirts though because the guys had to wear the same shirt & didn't want to wear violets of course. There was another chapter on campus who had the skull & bones as their symbol so the PNMs didn't think we were creepy because there was another group who had the same thing.

Sometimes I'm jealous of the Chi O's because they have cute skull and crossbones stuff...most of us try to leave each others' things alone, so skull and cross bones and anchors are kinda off limits. I've always liked them, but I don't get happy skulls.
