There's a scuba steve on my campus too. While my sorority doesn't officially do nicknames or pledge names, a few of us have some. My Purple Pal's last name is really hard to say, so when she went through recruitment, we took to calling her Chex Mix, and it kind of stuck. Her big even got her a bag of Chex Mix for big/lil night. And, there are guys on campus who I don't know by their real name, but only by nicknames. My nickname is Amazon, b/c one of my good friends is really short and I call her Short Stuff, so she started calling me Amazon and it just stuck.

We have an Amazon also! but no Sucba Steves

ok well my pledge class name (my pledge sisters give this to me ) is chuck... because at a mixer while i was pledging-i got really drunk (at my own accord!) and threw up on my pledge sister..... still haven't lived that down... and my mom (same as big sister) gave me my title which has one name and then a whole big long list of quotes and whatever else they want to put on there- and we're supposed to memorize it- (most don't) a lot of times the titles have family line quotes that everyone gets etc- but my name int htat was ghetto quaker (i can't spell- but the noise that duck makes! lol) b/c everyone thinks i am ghetto b/c when i get mad my ny accent comes out and i love ducks.... so there you go...

GoBot. (or Gizmo)

I really don't like my pledge name at all. I thought that you were supposed to earn your pledge names by f'ing up during the time you're pledging? One of the Brothers at the time just looked at me one day and said "You're an engineering major... you'll be GoBot..."

It was very dissappointing.

But some better ones from my Chapter:

Nips (given because he has no nipples... shaved them off by accident when he was in high school)

Piglet (this kid Jay had this unhealthy obsession w/ Disney, and he tended to be very timid and shy during pledging... like Piglet)

Wet-Wac (my favorite! one of our Brothers Mark was very drunk one night, of his own accord mind you!, and spilled his jungle juice onto our frat house floor. he then proceed to stand up and shout "clean up in aisle 6... I got it!" and dropped to his knees and begin licking the juice off of our soaked-in-God-knows-what rug)

Strawberry Gumdrop (this guy Jim was such a tough guy, ROTC, pretty built, really manly type dude, so I purposely gave him his name as one of the girliest names any of us could think of)

MacGruff (once at a mixer, the sorority chicks were trying to leak fraternity secrets out of this one guy, he drunkenly responded with: "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." and blew her off.)

That's some highlights... but there are so may more (most of which I can't really explain here...). Anybody else out there have any good ones?

My fraternity nickname given to me as an undergrad is O.p.i.e.

I guess my brothers thought I was some small town innocent kind, and realized that wasn't entirely the case...and hence the name o.p.i.e.

I later added the periods and made my own little meaning:

Other
Phi's
Imitate
Excellence

tried to throw a positive spin on things

One of my best buds has that same pledge name!!! Except he got it because both of his parents are cops, yet he enjoys illegal affairs! lol!!

Anyway, my name is "A.D.D" as, in Attention Deficit Disorder. My girls and I were out one night at our fav place to eat and were talking soro buisness. Well, I have a HUGE bad habit of changing subjects w/o finishing to previous topic. They had to "get me back on track" almost every 2 minutes!!

TKE209's name was "Silent Bob"...oye...

[AXPGoBot]

One of my pledge brothers' names was Silent Bob!

His name's Rob, but during pledging he hardly talked at all, cuz the other 5 of us in my class all sorta new each other, I guess he kinda felt outta place. But now he's one of my favorites!

Just thought I'd share.

My nickname is Hotpants. Reason- a certain outfit I went clubbing in and then being upset some strange guy wanted to "pet" me. Ick.

My chapter started giving Alumnae Names as well, since some sisters complained that names they received early on didn't really "define" them well, so their Alumnae name usually related to their nickname, but were more descriptive/positive.

One of the posts talked about not knowing "real" names of people in other houses, only pledge names. How true. How am I supposed to know that "Teddy" isn't a real name? Worse, when the pledge name is "not-so-nice" and you don't want to say it, but you have no idea his real name-

[phi sig girly]

mines kinda stupid...at the time, and still kinda to this day, i was really obsessed with the smashing pumpkins, so they named me...*drumroll*...'smashing pumpkin' ... creative huh?

[mosT]

They called me mosT...I has a strong feeling to it. Also I was the only pledge the make it thru. So when people asked me I why they called me that I usually say. "mosT Perfect". The sororities called me mosty which I find cute.

[pshsx1]

Holy old thread...

Most everyone in my chapter just randomly earns a nickname. Mine are "Texas" (or The Texas Kid) and "Token 2."

[XAntoftheSkyX]

My nickname is McLovin, I'm sure you all can guess why.

[Gusteau]

^^^Haha

I had a few nicknames, none that really stuck. Gusteau is the only one that's used - and never in real life, only on GC. It came from the chef in Ratatouille.

[Sphinxy]

my sorority doesn't do nicknames for the most part- a few have stuck but not many.

but I have a nickname from the fraternity I'm a sweetheart for- Agent 99 because i'm so super stealthy.

[Francisx3]

The seniors last year gave me the name Fundadora Francis because I'm Hispanic and have the same name as one of Zeta's founders (fundadoras).
