Am I missing something here?

Except I'm fairly certain it was our new member pin first.

Bumping an old topic but I wanted to add that it is pretty common for FIJIs to get the greek letters tattoo on their right/left inner ankle. It is not one of the seven places but apparently it has become an unofficial tradition since the Civil War as a way to recognize fallen brothers. I personally have it on my inner right ankle, as do a handful of brothers in my chapter.

I seriously doubt it's been a tradition since the Civil War. The idea that tattoos are acceptable for college students is relatively recent. When I was in college in the 80s, very few college students would have had them.
