when I joined DZ one of the first things we were told was no tattos of letters. We have a very strict alcohol policy with our letters, you cant drink or see alcohol with letters anywhere on your body, including rings, and necklaces, so we were told if we got a tattoo with letters we could never be near alcohol. A few sisters have pink and green turtles tattooed on themselves though

i know in some chapters getting letters tattooed onto your body is forbidden because you aren't supposed to drink with your letters on. two friends of mine who are chi-o's got a horseshoe which resembles the omega and an owl which is their mascot. my pledge class all got a circle of five filled in stars with teo hallow ones in the middle of the circle. it has to do with the number of our founders, the points on the jordan standard and how many of us went through. seven is just the magic number of sigma chi.

Now there's something that I'll bet your founders didn't anticipate 100 years earlier!

I actually have one on my left leg....I got it my sophomore year. It is about 4/5 inches tall and is the crest of the coat of arms for Phi Delta Theta, with the fraternity name written in an arch over the arm and javelin....the writing actually begins at the middle of my shin and goes all the way back to the middle of my calf. Originally I wanted it very small, but the guy drew it on...and I figured...what the heck....so I went with it.

The tattoo has a lot of symbolism for me (obviosly) and I got it in honor of my brothers who really stuck by me and got me through a difficult time in college.

One of my other brothers, whom I was close with, got two other portions of the coat of arms on his arm. He has the helmet of armor with a sword going behind it...that can be found on our coat of arms.
