Post Greek Nicknames

Ok, I often hear people say, "I'm a Kappa" or "I'm a Theta", etc. and I don't always know which sorority they're talking about. So, can everyone post their Sorority/Fraternity nicknames please!

We're known as Tekes. now i get why its we;re called that with the TeeKes and all. What I always wonder is why Pi Kappa Alpha are Pikes, shouldnt they be Peeks?

Perfect timing - I just asked the question in another post- who are the Alpha's?

I think that usually refers to the men's NPHC fraternity "Alpha Phi Alpha", a BGLO.

I am an Alpha Omicron Pi and we usually go by A O Pi. We don't use Alpha because there are two many organizations that start with Alpha. So, its not AOTT, cutiepie2000!
