Several of our girls either had tattoos or got tattoos while attending college, but I only know of one sister who got an Alpha Gam (or related) tattoo. It was small and tasteful, and she had it put on the inner part of her ankle. She could cover it up with a bandaid or sock if needed. I believe it was our letters with red and buff roses and a flower lei draped across the letters. We, the collegians, all liked it, but a bunch of the alumnae advisors at the time didn't approve.
I remember an IHQ consultant and alumnae having a problem with one of my pledge sisters having nose and belly rings, but piercings seem to be more popular and less of "an issue" these days.
A bunch of guys from my husband's pledge class decided to brand themselves with their letters (SigEp.) The boys were a bit on the extreme side. If I'm not mistaken, these same fellows decided that they should wear their pledge pins in the shower (pinned to their skin) because they were instructed to wear their pins at all times during their pledge period. Thankfully, my husband did neither.

Whoa, that's what you call a dedicated pledge! Very extreme! Did they do anything else?

I've heard of DTD at schools getting branded during pledge period, which sucks if you later decided you want out...but I guess if you love it that much! Has anyone heard of branding being risky for health??

When Delta Sig at San Diego State was kicked out in 98 for hazing, one of the allegations was that the pledges had their pledge pins branded on them.........

JMUduke- YES branding can be VERY dangerous to health. at my school a phi kap almost lost his leg because of infection after being branded.. he chose to brand himself while drunk with a *colored* coat hanger. ouch... as it started to heal he didn't take care of it and had to spend a weekend in the hospital on constant IV antibiotic drip. a couple days later an dit would have to be amputated.. be careful!!!!!!

This happened before I went to SDSU, so I'm not sure.

if you feel the need to brand yourself then go to a professionel, like a tattoo parlor. This isn't Suburbia, you're not the rejected.

I'm just going through the old tattoo threads because I'm looking to get my third tattoo as soon as I get Paid (which is soon...yay). Anyhow, I am still deciding what symbol I wanted to get and I was thinking the Chinese (Kanji) symbol for sister or sisterhood. However, I can't seem to find a picture. I was wondering if you had a picture of what this symbol looked like. I'm not trying to copy your sisters or anything, but it is something I was thinking about. I just would like to see the symbol, but I'm 95% sure I'll be getting the Kanji symbol for angel (Pi Phi's unofficial symbol).
Thanks.
Emily

i met an older phi sig
and she had the coolest GLO tatoo
it was our sorority flower. . .the american beauty rose
it was intertwined through her toes with the vines ending on her pinkie toe
the head of the rose was hanging off her big toe slightly
it looks great and mad sexy

my roommate is a very deticated brother of kappa kappa psi (band service fraternity) and she got a blue and white (kkpsi colors) trebble clef intertwined with a pink rose (her fav flower) on her lower back. it's only about thee inches by an inch and a half, and it actually looks really good. those who know her know what it stands for, but it doesnt scream out KKPsi. i would love to get a small pink rose (azd flower) on my back, but i dont think i could stand the pain

I have the design for my 5-pointed crown already but I just need the guts and the money to do it. I doesn't scream ZTA and most people will think it's just a crown, except for those of us who are privileged enough to know what it stands for

I love dolphins, so I have a dolphin wearing a crown on my hip. It combines two of my favorite things...ZTA and dolphins. My big sis and I were tattooed together while at ZTA's centennial convention in 1998!

I have a tatoo, but not of my sorority. I would like to get one, though I'd never be able to decide which symbol to have.
