Hmmm I think we'd need to eat cheezburgers and only do MS on Caturday. I hope there is the option of DO NOT WANT.

I think I want one of those LOLCAT Magic Cheezburgers for when I TA or am at work and someone asks a question that deserves an answer in LOL Speak.

These are usually the girl's who didn't get into their first club choice, more specifically their big club choice. And I laughed, too. It's really pathetic the excuses girls will make just to not feel bad about rejecting a bid from the small clubs...

And on the second thing, our school has caps on pledge classes (51 for girls' clubs), so their excuse is just that they couldn't take every girl. But yes, I'm sure that has been tossed around before.

A friend cut one group right away because she just couldn't deal with the skull on their badge. "It's so creepy! Why would they DO that?"

Hmm, I wonder who that could be

To be honest, when I first got/saw our badge I was a little concerned it lacked some grace and femininity - but then once I learned about its meaning it became much more bad ass & of course now, I LOVE IT! (It also has caused me to squeal every time I see something skull & crossbones and yell, "sigma!!")

Pretty sure at least one other NPC has a skull on their badge -- they were my next door neighbors when I was a collegian.

On topic, I was dead set on not going Tri Sigma when I first got to school... my cousin is a Tri Delta alumna and I thought it was just too close! But Sigma was just TOO natural and I didn't "feel" it anywhere else... so here I am, rockin' my skull and pearls whenever I can!

Oh really? My apologies! We didn't have any other NPC's on our campus so I'm still trying to learn about badges and how they look - which is why I like the Badge Trends thread!

Off to look at some pretty badges!

Chi Omega has a "skull" on their badge. Looking straight at the Omega the "skull and bones" are on the left and the "owl" is on the right. Obviously, they have chosen to empasize the "owl" as their symbol!

As always,

It must be strange to be the only NPC at your campus! Unless there are other locals or non-NPCs that help bridge the gap. We only had 3 at my school (with no locals or others), which is also a pretty small system.

Here's a great PDF of the NPC badges: Link. It's a great starting point... although in this pic it is hard to tell what the images are on the Chi O badge unless you know what you're looking for.

I cut an organization because it didn't have a house. Now I know that a physical house doesn't make a sorority better then others, but at the time, I didn't know better and cut a great organization.

I almost cut an organization because they also invited my roommate to preference, but luckily I still listed them first on my preference card and had 4 great years of sisterhood (that didn't include my roommate).

Hahah I remember a girl when I went through back in 06 that was dropping houses based on their house decor (like wall color, couches, the TV? lol wtf)..I wish I knew where she ended up, all I remember is that she wanted DG b/c they had a grand piano and no one else did

That's legit in my book, consider yourself excused.
