Mike “Doc” Ridley ’80 Shares Funny Nicknames from His Era

We recently heard from our very own, Brother Mike “Doc” Ridley ’80 in response to our PA Theta Hijinks story. Here is what he had to say!

PA Theta: What were the best nicknames you called your brothers and how did they come about?  

Mike: Nicknames of fellow Phi Delta Theta brothers from fall 1975-1980 were as follows: Fish Slim Fatty Cretin Chops Babs Moyles Vic Mature Burd Doe Load Raf Lons Wang Photon Doc Mother Mouth Flounder Crab man Chiner Flap Jack Leo Hondo Small loyd Cowboy. I don’t know the origin of all these names but they sure are creative.

Thanks for sharing these hilarious nicknames, Mike! Click here to share your brothers’ nicknames with us! If you have a picture to share as well, email it to alumninews@pathetapsu.org with the subject line “Phi Delta Theta Penn State Photos.”
