Trauma.........I heard that the Delta's have like a constitutional "Frown Upon" on tattoos and brandings..(Is this what you were referring to?).... I saw this on an article about how brandings are common.. yadda yadda... I think the Deltas and AKAs are the only ones that don't brand... I mean.. I'm sure some people might have gone back and gotten 'em.. but I found out that they don't really like it.... I've seen a couple of pyramids.. and violets... on shoulders ... and necks (@the back).. I saw this girl with ivy running around her ankle... It was kinda cute, but it reminded me of Poison Ivy from Batman... :roll: got kinda scared there... Seen a couple of Zetas w/ doves... or like wings on their shoulderblades.... I've also seen some people who get it done in Chines/Japanese..... I have seen Zeta brands.. and 1FineIota enlightened us a long time ago that a certain SGRho had a brand in her "nether regions"...... ^^^never gonna get a brand.. of anything.. Why? In the words of that NC cat Petey, "Cuz I ain't **** enuff ta do dat..."

well.. since I am not greek.. an I am not 40.. I'm going to have to say: I don't know...

I just assumed that if it meant enuff to you, you wouldn't forget.. but hey.. people are weird....
A tatoo? That is so **** in most sororities. Please reconsider that.

Is that so? I know lots of your sorors with little red elephants tatted on their ankles, I thought it was a collective thing but even some of the older ones had it. They weren't all huge an thuggish like some I've seen. I thought it was cute...

NOt a "Constitutional" frown upon. But definitely a protocol "frown upon." It is written....but anyway.... Several of my sorors have them, but it is still not cool.

^^^ You may or may not be able to answer this and that's understandable. I'm just curious. Why are greek related tattoos inappropriate for females, but branding is acceptable amongst males? I know religiously tattoos are shunned upon...so is there any connection with that. I've heard things like its inappropriate to get **** with your letters or sit on your letters...some even say tying jackets around the waist is inappropriate...all that I can understand...but I guess some think tattooing shows some type of permanent loyalty.

^^^so is it against protocol to have any tats or is it just against protocol to have tats bearing any symbols of your sorority? Like.. let's say you got a tat after you crossed (didn't have a damn thing to with your sorority).. is that against protocol? I could understand if it detracted from the "ladylike" persona, but umm... yea... thats all..

That's interesting. So what if you have them before you joined the organization? I guess they should be kept covered. Esp. when in paraphenalia.

Why would someone have a Greek tatoo before being Greek? Are you referring to tatoos in general? We are speaking on Greek tatoos.

^^^ 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.
