yup
No doubt. . .it is really convenient to have our public information available to download, especially if you all of a sudden have a large pledge line or class and need extra materials.

Yes, the Alpha Phi Omega pledge manual is online. There is nothing in the Pledge Manual which is not public. As an example of how public the pledge manual is, a pledge manual is sent as part of the package to a person who has requested information on how to start an Alpha Phi Omega chapter at the school *long* before they would make a commitment to be a member of the fraternity. (First commitment as a member would be at the Petitioning Ceremony)
The *only* things that Alpha Phi Omega publishes that are inappropriate to have on the web site are the Pledge and Brotherhood ceremonies. It would be just fine tohave the other ceremonies in the ritual book (opening, closing, officer installation, & memorial) online...

Perstare et Praestare
I was given the name Determinator because of my optimism and ability to undauntingly go after a goal with a singlemindedness of purpose, reminiscent of the Terminator.

I Like!
That's a nice line name, Determinator. BTW, how many of you were on that line. I never asked Virtuous Woman that.
Too bad you're a #1 though
Just playing!

I know I'm young...

Congrats on your anniversary!!

Well I have several nickname since I was the Ace I was nicknamed "Audacious"--I was always down for whatever whether service, fundraisers, pledge class pranks you name it I was there and when stuff got heated I would always get in the cut to attempt to calm the tension between some of my LB's and LS's.
Then because of an incident that I'll leave to the imagination I was named "Table Topper" and then finally my big named me "Lil' Bully" --which is my official nickname, due to the fact that I'm the shortest person but I'm always in the middle of whatever and because at a Fellowship once which happened to be a Bar B-Que, someone like pushed me and and then was like oh I didn't see you, so I pushed them back, and was like "now what", but the entire chapter still calls me "Table Topper".

I'm really glad this thread got brought back up, thanks Corporate Lady!
I got into a debate with somebody who was trying to tell me that only BGLO's have meaningful "line names."
Of course I was like, what are you talking about? It's sad that some people don't even bother to research so they can see the shared traditions that all the organizations have, no matter if they are black, white, Latino, Asian, Native. . .etc.
Reading the Divine Nine isn't enough! Ya got to hit the library, too!

My chapter doesn't do pledge lines... we just have pledge classes...
Anyhoo... My nicknames (oh boy)! My chapter loves to give out the nicknames! Traditionally, your big gives you your first nickname, and then anyone in your pledge class or above can give you a nickname. Let's see if I can remember all of mine:
Chipper- (because I'm very bubbly and my laugh reminded my Big of a chipmunk)
Mountain Goat- (excessive alcohol at Deja Vu, a campus in the middle of mountains... 'nuff said)
Lemming- (follow the leader!)
I know I'm probably missing a few... time to get on the phone with brother Christie and refresh my memory!

Ok, here it goes... my nickname is A Schoolgirl Named Desire (yes, a very long nickname, which happens quite often in my chapter).
My Big named me this because we have a movie theme on my branch of my tree (the movie being a Streetcar Named Desire). The Schoolgirl part came from an outfit that I wore to an event when I was pledging (a plad uniform). I won't go int the rest of it's meaning!
