Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

I mean, I suppose you could drive from Alaska to Florida if you really wanted to...clearly some people should have watched/played Carmen Sandiego as children. And actually, you will need a passport soon to drive from Alaska to Florida since you have to go through Canada!

(D Phi E didn't end up presenting to us). I remember liking the way Theta's letters looked because the two K's in KKG looked weird. Oh, but I liked Kappa's colors better. :-P

I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks Theta's letters are aesthetically pleasing.

I do, too! I also think Kappa Alpha Theta SOUNDS aesthetically pleasing... definitely rolls off of the tongue. Actually, Sigma Kappa is another one that I could say over and over again.

I'm just glad we don't have Phi Mu... before I knew what greek life really meant, I would have only wanted to be there because of the colors alone...

One of my chapter sisters would probably have wanted to go Phi Mu for the colors alone, if we'd had a chapter. I'm not sure if she actually owned any clothes that weren't some shade of pink. People called her "Fraulein Pinkpuff" behind her back.

I just have to say...YES! Our colors do rock! And honestly, it helped that not only did I love Phi Mu before recruitment but the colors were my absolute favorite!

Hence your sorority affiliation! (ducks paintballs being fired by sageofages... the paintballs are pink, of course)

I've got nothing against pink, but I'm not exactly a member of the Fraulein Pinkpuff Fan Club.
