Are you allowed to get a tattoo of your letters? My big and I want to get matching SDT tattoos but we don't know if you are allowed to. I've heard mixed answers and figured I should check here.

I know our chapter would not allow us to get a tattoo with our letters. It was considered disrespectful.

Does any sorority really approve of tramp stamps?

Tattoo =/= tramp stamp. Not for the last 25 years or so, anyway...Considering we have national councillors, foundation trustees and volunteers who have them, I would hardly refer to them as "tramps."

"Tramp stamps" are generally regarded to be large tats on the lower back...not tats as a whole.

I don't know about SDT, but this is a direct quote from our new member manual: "The Gamma Phi Beta coat of arms (crest), crescent, carnation, Greek letters and words Gamma Phi Beta or any other symbols of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority are meant to be used in good taste and not to be used as a tattoo."

I'd say that's a pretty strong NO for our group...so I'd see if SDT has a policy before getting them.

Snobbery isn't classy either.

If you don't have anything nice to say...

This is the one tattoo I'll never forget. Taken from the National SAI Facebook Page. Even though SAI has a strong stance on tattoos. This sister obviously didn't listen....

And, no, it's not mine!

Tramp Stamps are NOT classy.. that's why they are called "tramp stamps" or even the "classier" name of "ass antlers"!!!

Some things should just NOT be photographed & shared.

From Kappa Delta "It is considered to be in poor taste (and is an improper use of registered marks) to have the Kappa Delta crest, badge, the words "Kappa Delta," or the greek letters "KD" tattooed on the body."

I know many have sisters who have the open motto tattooed on their bodies.
One instance (sorry it's so large!):

I'm not meaning to say tramp stamps are classy. I'm merely pointing out that sarcastic comments about members of an organization are unkind, and unnecessary.

Um, I can't even tell what body part that is...and I'm afraid to ask!

That would be her left side ribs. It's much easier to see in another picture she posted, but the tattoo is fresh in that one and the flash makes it hard to see the tattoo. It's actually not finished quite yet. I'm curious to see what else she puts on it. At least it's tasteful?
