How does someone forget their line name or their Number??? This amazes me! I know that Greek doesn't run rampid in everyone's veins and after awhile some people can begin to lose track of general frat/sorority info, but how do you forget what your own bros/sorors used 2 kall YOU??
^^ I think it's safe to say that regardless of the org, the older sorors are gonna frown upon these things. I had a Soror frown up on me one day at one of our car washes. It was 90 degrees and there were tons of people there. She thought it was inappropriate for me to have a shirt that exposed my belly in public; she also thought my navel ring was inappropriate :roll: But what I had to politely explain to my conservative seasoned Soror is that I've had my navel ring for five years, that's longer than I've been an AKA :wink: I also had two tatoos before becoming an AKA lady but they are tasteful tats with meaning and they aren't easily seen. Whether a Soror or not, there are just people in general that frown on tats and piercings period. It is defintely against protocol to get your letters tatted on you(not to mention TACKY as hell!) but there are ways to get around it without it being blatantly obvious. My Soror has the tiny ivy leaf on her ankle((and it is too cute)), as mentioned, I have Delta friends with the little red elephants on their ankles and my aunt who has been DST for 35 years has a pyramid with 1913 in it. Zeta friend has a blue kitten on her shoulder, SGRho friend has a tiny poodle on her shoulder as well. So again it all depends on how it's done...
Branding is a definite UH UH and is very unlady like IMO. I have yet to see a sorority member branded and I dread the day I do!
^^^ Well actually no we aren't talking about greek tattoos in this instance. I was talking about tattoos in general...and Inferno was as well.
At the top of this page Inferno asked what if you got a tattoo that had nothing to do with the sorority after you crossed? You stated that was against protocol. Then I asked my questions.
Sorry. I misread. Please forgive me. Older sorors don't like them either, but there is nothing written about them. Several of my linesisters had tatoos while we were on line.

Sadly, I have sorors who have been branded. I also know a few Zetas with brands. Why women would want to do this, I don't know. I think it's a bit over the top personally. I wonder why men even practice branding. But then again, I don't understand why men do lots of things.
Well since we settled the issue of tattoos...how do Greeks feel about piercings...and Im not talking about ear piercings..Im talking about tongue rings, labrea piercings ( the one under ur bottom lip ), eye brow rings, nose rings...basically those types of piercings noticeable on the face. Are they frowned upon also??
^^^I guess the main thing is that older members are old school in thinking...so its kinda like your mom getting on ya for getting those type of things.

Girl, your piercings and tatoos are your business. Greek tatoos are what's against protocol. Anything else is your business. Older sorors may not like it, but oh well.

Actually it's VERY possible. It has nothing to do with "pledging" or "skating".....I know older people who were brought in "right" who have honestly forgot their line names and numbers. I guess the older you get the more removed you are from those types of things.
That is definitely suspect. But don't refer to her as a Delta. Say you met a woman who claimed to be a Delta....blah blah blah. :wink:
