Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

Phi Mu had this massive pink castle which I dubbed the "Magical Pink Castle" and remember telling people looked like someone had vomited Pepto Bismol on Cinderella's Castle. I swore I'd never join such a PINK chapter. In all fairness...they cut me! If there is significance to the pink castle for Phi Mu...someone clue me in.

Actually, there is significance to it.

First..Pink

And there is a popular song for sisters called "My Phi Mu Castle" (written actually about the house at Delta Beta - UIUC (for another thread).

It starts out...

I have a Phi Mu Castle
That's filled with treasures old...

Sadly, the chapter house at Delta Beta is NOT pink

WoW that is one PINK house!


Just for fun I checked out their ADPi chapter to see if maybe this was a school-wide thing. Maybe my screen is off... or maybe it's at a weird angle, but I think it's sort of blue??

No it's definitely blue. It is a school wide thing. KD's house is green. Chi O's house is yellow with red shutters. Theta's house is yellow with black shutters. I love those houses.

I think that's pretty cool for the houses to be the group colors. I was picturing what they would do with a SK house. Lavender with maroon shutters or vice versa?

As far as cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons, I know people who have pledged and also not pledged groups based on the (unflattering) nickname others had for the house.

Probably lavender with maroon shutters, since the houses are all pastel.

If they decide to take a picture of it, I'd love to see it!

That's good to know I wasn't seeing things! I thnk it's really cool that the houses are painted in sorority colors

Just thought I'd give you guys a funny little update. The girl who "wouldn't join a 3 letter sorority" pledged Alpha Xi Delta. How funny!

The Xi in the middle spreads them out -- Alpha and Delta are in her arm pits

She probably thinks it looks like that line that someone wearing a too-tight t-shirt gets between her boobs!
