The Elephant Walk... does it really exist?

[Pledgetrainer]

FIJI is very particular about where their letters can be used. I believe there are only six places, but I don't know them off-hand. That's why they put FIJI on most of their shirts and whatnot. Also the elephant walk most definitely does exist.

And is the most homo-erotic thing EVER. Way to prove how cool and straight you are by making the guys you want to be as cool and straight as you are do it to prove how cool and straight they are.

There were rumors at my school but I never saw it for myself.

There was a fraternity who made their pledges run naked down Greek Park the night of their initiation. The sorority girls would bring out lawn chairs and watch the boys run by. This stopped after my sophomore year when the campus cops caught wind of what was going on.

I think you meant cool and tuff.

Phi Gamma Delta is one of the few Greek-letter organizations in North America to limit the written display of its Greek letters.[32] In accordance with the fraternity's international bylaws, Fiji chapters and members only portray their letters in the following seven locations:[33]

• On a uniform diamond-shaped member badge
• On the Fraternity's official seal
• On the Fraternity's official flag
• On a chapter house marker
• On memorials to deceased brothers
• On a brother's certificate of membership
• On a brother's official college ring

The fraternity's letters are, thus, considered sacred and are never to be displayed on an object that can be easily destroyed. Whereas other fraternities often display their letters on clothing or other items, this tradition prevents Fijis from doing so. In place of the actual Greek letters, "Fiji," "Phi Gam," or the English spelling of "Phi Gamma Delta" are used in their place.

The actual nickname originated with the publication of our fraternal magazine (I want to say in 1898). Phi-G used to be pronounced Fee-Gee instead of Phi-Gee. I feel that our letters should also be allowed on Lavaliers since you're allowed to let women wear your badge anyway.

Not anywhere that I know of. Sig Ep is the only one that is rumored to have done it here.
