Cutting or pledging a group for dumb reasons

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.

You know, Lily, we should post this link in the Badges thread as a reference. I always thought it was funny, though, that ZTA, Theta and Phi Mu chose to display badges on this poster that are encrusted with stones that are not their colors. Interesting, but their still beautiful!

I'm guessing ihearttrisigma went to Ursinus College. I know Tri Sigma is the only NPC on that campus but there are several local sororities, too. Didn't mean to "out" the poster or anything, but I live only a few miles from Ursinus so it leaped (leapt?) out at me.

It is posted there actually, in the very first post That was quite a while ago now, though.

I've always thought the same. I wonder if each org picked the badge displayed, or if the delegate did, or... Who knows. I'd love to see a pater for each org with all the options... But that would probably be asking way too much!

I never noticed...or maybe I've just forgotten...the thread has gotten pretty long! Then again, it is my favorite

One of my sisters was a Rho Gamma and she said one girl dropped a certain house because they had "grandma wallpaper".

I live near Ursinus too!
I've always wondered why they have 1 NPC and the rest are locals.

i always figured that it was someone at npc headquarters who had a grudge against zta, theta and phi mu-lol. that one is not my favorite zta badge.

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

I dropped a house because some of the furniture was leopard printed...

I have no problem confirming that I went to Ursinus. There is only 1 NPC for the simple reason that Ursinus is a small school and the locals are very very old. The oldest greek organization was formed in 1907, with a majority of them being between 100 to 70 years of age. They have formed their own traditions and feel there is no need to become National. The college has not demanded them to go national, and I can assure you that alumni would not donate if their local organizations were forced to go national. I was a charter sister in 2002 who brought Tri Sigma to UC and it has been a tough but rewarding road. FWIW, there are also 2 National Fraternities on campus, Sigma Pi and Phi Kappa Sigma.

I actually saw 2 of your sisters today in Collegeville sporting their letters!

YAY! They make me very proud! If you have any other questions regarding Ursinus greeks just PM me.

Side note, I love that area. I grew up 20 mins from the school and it is just a fantastic place to live. I miss it dearly. Plus it has just exploded in growth. When I started school in 2000 it was pretty rural over there, but now - holy cow, its a mini-city!
