Cute Greek sayings/traditions
When I was in college a friend of mine at University of Florida would tell me about how the members of Delta Delta Delta would answer the phone, "Delta, Delta, Delta. Can we help ya, help ya, help ya?"
I'm pretty sure she never called the house or spent any time there, but it was one of those cute little things that people talked about. Maybe some people thought it was annoying, but others thought it was cute.
I know our chapter usually spells the word wonderful as ONEderful.
What are some little cute things that your chapter, or chapters that you know of, did?

Someone needs to YouTube SNL for this poor child. I'd do it, but it's a pain to do on the Droid.

Haha that's what I was going to say.
What about "Brown Eyed Girl"..."Brown Eyed Squirrel"?

So, are you saying that 1)it's not true and that it's just a SNL skit or 2)they got it from a SNL skit?

Sadly, YouTube doesn't have much SNL. NBC has seen to that.
MasTNX, it was a recurring SNL skit in the early 90s.

It wasn't well received by some when it came out; here's a link to the article: http://thedp.com/node/31266
I can't find the video online, however.

"TriDelt"?  Was the "A" too much to type?

My mother, who was a TriDelta in the early-mid 70s and has most certainly never watched SNL, told me that they would answer the phone like that in her chapter house.
So obviously SNL got it from somewhere...

I think that Tri Delta did sue them. They used ZTA's name too, and of course there were hosts that wore their letter sweatshirts (John Goodman - Sig Ep and Rob Morrow - TKE) and participated in the skits.
Personally, I thought they were hilarious. I think most sorority members with senses of humor did. SNL just shouldn't have used a real name - the skit would have been just as funny.
ETA: I looked on hulu (where all the SNL clips are) and can't find it.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone said that to me since I joined in 2007 I'd probably have about 5 dollars.
Didn't ZTA recently trademark the letters "ZTA"? I remember reading something about it on the girl who is the chapter president at my school.

The vast majority of us have our letters trademarked, and have for decades, hence the need for Greek Licensing. We have Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Gam, our Coat of Arms, and the greek letters of Alpha Gamma Delta all trademarked. (I don't believe that list is all inclusive either).

well, my sorority's mascot is a mermaid, so we often spell out the word "see" as "sea" (like "sea you later!") and our colors are royal blue and grey, so we also say "bluetiful"

We had Theta themed lyrics to Brown Eyed Girl, "Theta Girl."

SNL began in the mid-70's. I'll bet she watched it back then. (There was a time when we could stay up that late. <g>)
