Anyway I figured them out a while ago and they fit perfectly. There should be a forum on here though for why everyone on here always answers everything so defensively, instead of trying to help people there is nothing but sarcasm and immaturity
Trying to figure out why you came back here are *itcy-like with this response. Whether you were looking for a name or a theme, no one on here could help you because we are not in your organization and don't know the women pledging. DUH! And how one org chooses line names has nothing to do with how your org does it. Do YOU and not what everyone else is doing

Something to keep in mind about line names, the longer the line name, the harder it is to get custom clothing. It could also get expensive b/c sometimes you have to pay per letter.

"Line" is the term used to describe the members of a new member class in NPHC and cultural-based Greek organizations.

Prior to joining GC, my knowledge of terms used by NPHC and cultural-based Greek orgs. was very limited as my campus did not have any of them.

ETA: boo, OTW beat me to it.

a line name is a name given to a pledge at the end of their pledge process/intake period. the name tends to describe the pledge as they were during that time, or their personality, or something that is relevant to that chapter.

traditionally, NPHC orgs give/use line names, but i believe Latino/Asian/multicultural greeks use them too. (ETA: ok, most of them, if not all, do. i recall KPL, for instance, not having line names, but names nonetheless, in the fashion of NPC orgs)

im sure NPC/IFC orgs give nicknames and what not in similar fashion, but it may not be the standard practice.

i believe what many posters are getting at in reference to the OP is that she wants names that "sound cool and look good on a jacket." line names mean a lot more to people who have/earn them than the name "sounding/looking cool." furthermore, since we dont know the girls to be named, it would be hard for us to suggest anything. if anything, if the OP cant think of a name for these girls, she should a. not be naming them, and b. learn something about them so she could name them c. should she be naming them at all?
