KAO, pronounced "cow". Apparently, there's a computer company named KAO (apparently they made floppy disks---remember floppy disks?) and my best friend went on a tour of their factory. She felt it was important that I know this, even though she knew how to pronounce the letters.

When I mention P.E.O. I have learned to immediately add, "and, no, I can't tell you what that means!"

I guess people think that the Alpha, Gamma, and Delta are words in themselves, not the initials of other words.

I can attest to this...I am a French teacher and I used to live there...HA! I never thought of that before.

I always get, hey what is A O 3.14? Not too original.

Some girl on a campus tour I was giving last year asked if we had the triple-E sorority, referring to Tri-Sigma :rolleyes:

I've never really heard anything since Phi Sigma Sigma (in greek letters) doesn't really look like a word, but at my school those who aren't greek have asked me things along the lines of "Oh, do you know that girl.... you know the girl from the EAT sorority?" (Referring to Sigma Delta Tau). Hmmmm interesting:rolleyes: ... lol, I'm sure SDT girls hear that a lot.

Once when I was at the movies at home I was wearing my letters and as I was passing him to go the bathroom he starts shouting out "ALPHA BETA DELTA" like a cheer. He wasn't even close but alrighty then. lol.

Har, I had a girl at my first job after college do that same thing. She got the first one right but then it was downhill. :p

My little brother kept calling me "K Triangle" when I first joined. My ex-boyfriend used to call me a KA instead of KD because he had a bunch of KA friends at his school. You would think that he would realize that his guy friends were in Kappa Alpha Order FRATERNITY and I was in Kappa DELTA SORORITY. Duh! And the next semester he rushed Delta Tau Delta...I hope by then he figured out Greek letters and didn't think he was pledging Alpha Tau Alpha!

I used to have a hard time with KD and KA... I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! hehe...

My chapter has gotten "ROB" a lot. So when we wear the "I love" buttons, we keep getting asked, "Who's Rob?"
