Anything that makes fun of that ridiculous "baby" trend is aces with me.

AMEN to that.
And, just curious - where do you find these crazy updates on FB? Not that I'd want to go look for myself or anything... not like I have that kind of time... *cough* (or should it be *eyeroll* directed at myself?)

I used your status tip and no lie, I found something I could trace back to GC. I'm getting all Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher up in this piece, but it relates back to an alleged troll, and one of Senusret I's favorite things, a race war.
Someone else is helping that thread rise again.

Baby alcoholics? Oh boy, what a way to utilize social media for positive PR, huh?
Add me to the bunch who hates the "baby" whatevers. They AREN'T BABIES for crying out loud. This has been going on for what, a decade or so now? Enough already!

Me too. It drives me crazy (not to mention the fact that our HQ discourages it). They are adults. Heck, a NM could potentially be older than some of the women who are calling her a "baby violet."
I'm not the "meanie alumna who corrects our terminology" by any means, but that is the one term that I will correct if a VP is using it on one of our calls, and I will be the "meanie alumna who ruins our fun plans" if your bid day shirt ideas involve shirts saying "baby violet." No, I don't care if every other chapter on your campus uses some variation of "baby _____."

We've always done it and it's never bothered me. I didn't mind being a Baby Squirrel at 18...thought it was kinda cute.

I spent four years in college fighting the use of "girls" rather than "women" - I lost that battle.
The "baby dove" thing makes me a little squeamish, just because... have you ever seen a recently hatched bird? Not super cute.

Ditto. Plus as having a sister-mother implies that you're a child. In my chapter it only lasts up to initiation anyways and no one obsessively brings it up.

Why/since when are Alpha Phi pledges called angels? I've only heard of Pi Phi pledges being called baby angels, because ya know, one of their actual symbols is an angel. If anything, our pledges have been called baby Phis.
