Mugnames/Pledgenames/etc?

[EGDeepher]

All of our sisters recieve their nicknames the night of initiation. After all the names are given the big sisters tell the little how the name came about.
It's tradition of us to share the stories of our names with the new members.

Mine is Lemon Merengue....

[CheeseMonkey]

My name is Spacey because I was being such a spaz about not wanting to go onto Space Mountain during our new member retreat to Disney. I'm not too much of a "movement" kind of person.
Most people associate me with my need to refer myself as CheeseMonkey. Some girls put my 1st name into the Anna Nicole Theme song, "Kristi, Kristi, glamorous Kristi, Kristi Nicole!"

"I'm so outrageous!"

My pledgename is Dopey, because I looked like I wasn't paying attention during my pledge period. But, there were 6 other girls in my pledge class, so we were "the 7 Dorks", because the pledge class before mine gave us our nicknames. But, as a pledge class, we call ourselves "Quiet Riot."

Well, mine is kind of obvious. One day, we were sitting at a table and we're loud. Someone referred to us as wild Indians. Thus, I designated us a tribe instead of a pledge/new member class and everyone gave each other nicknames.

Since I'm black and I'm obsessed with cute white guys, my sisters dubbed me 'Feening White Chocolate' which was later shorted to just White Chocolate(our advisor didn't like the 'feening' part). They decorated our door and put everyone's tribal name on it.

It was cute until our advisors suggested that it was offensive. Weird since I'm 1/8 Choctaw Indian and I came up with us being a tribe.

your post is very interesting...from the "wild Indians" part to the "I'm black and I'm obsessed with cute white guys...my sisters...."

If you're 1/8 Choctaw Indian, you should know that, in general, Native Americans prefer NOT to be referred to as "tribes."

My nickname is "Preach". Part of the reason was the way I was dressed. It was a formal meeting and I was decked out. Also, I am a very religous person. It was actually our advisor that gave it to me. Not an especially interesting story, but its mine.

P.K. – It’s a acronym of a nickname I received on the way to New Orleans for Spring Break.

Ahhh!!! Is that really your name?? It's mine too......spelling and all!

We get our nicknames the night before initiation, and it's really a fun night. Our nickname meanings are secret until then. Mine is Lola, and I'll just say think Barry Manilow and Copacabana.

[Little E]

my nickname is Little E (usually shortened to Lil E) there was another Erin in the house and she was older and allowed to keep her name (and Big E doens't sound to hot either). other than that...no one has nicknames...i so wish we did! i love hearing about them

My pledge name is Fervacious

It's a combination of two words:

fervent (meaning to be passionate, almost glowing) and vivacious (lively and of spirit.)

[AEPhiSierra]

We get our "nicknames" about 2 or 3 weeks into pledging or as soon as we can think of one for each pledge. We try to have them be cute or pretty and they don't find out what they mean until they are initiated (though people often figure them out on their own). We don't really tell what the sisters nicknames mean until iniation either but they're not actually secret so you can usually find out from the fraternities guys if they know.

My "nickname" is Sierra after the Sierra Club because I was majoring in Environmental Studies at the time and plus they though it was a name for the color of my hair. I figured out what my name meant when I got the Sierra club email newsletter the next day - I had never even mentioned being a member!

[moe.ron]

Mine is Scudz. to this day I have no idea why I got that name.

[CatStarESP4]

Okay, I will reveal my pledge name. It is Starbucks after the coffee since I go there a lot. The funny thing is that I gave to myself, but it is supposed be Ms. Starbucks. A fellow co-founder shortened it to Starbucks and that stuck!

[lilkel244]

My named is P.D.A for two reasons, one is that I am the most affectionate person in my chapter, always giving hugs and stuff, and the other one is Pretty Deadly Assasin, because we played assasins and I killed 25 sisters in one day (they were soo mad )
