:rolleyes:

I'm a member of the Kappa Sigma chapter of Sigma Nu. It only got confusing when we were using badge numbers to refer to each other around people who were outside of the fraternity.

Phi Beta Sigma has a Phi Beta Sigma chapter. It's an alumni chapter. I don't think that I will see us reach a Zeta Phi Beta chapter in my lifetime. :(

Re: Chapters with the same name as the frat/sorority
 

The National Board of Alpha Phi Omega has already decided that there will NOT be an "Alpha Phi Omega Chapter".

I have also been told they have decided there will not be an "Omega Omega Omega" chapter as well.

I am in the Kappa Alpha chapter of Phi Mu.....we have KA on our campus. This causes a couple of confusing things!

1) When people see our badge guards, they always ask why we have the fraternity letters on it!

2)People think that KA is our "brother chapter" (They're not. We don't have those here...or at least Phi Mu doesn't!)

As an interesting (to us Alpha Gams at least!) side note, there is no Epsilon Pi chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta... but if there was, think how cool it would be to say that you were from Epsilon Pi chapter!

I know that in the case of chapter designations that begin with a vowel and have as their second letter one whose pronunciation would change (Phi or Xi), the policy is to pronounce it in the "standard" (ie better known) way... such as our Alpha Phi (PHEYE) chapter at Marietta College, OH (inactive).

Brings up another point...

do you think there will ever be a "Lambda Lambda Lambda" Chapter...or a "Omega Mu"?? :p


Sorry, I watched Revenge of the Nerds this weekend.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what so exciting about Epsilon Pi Chapter? I just don't get it (yet) :confused:

Kappa Delta has the following chapters:

Kappa Alpha-- Florida State
Sigma Kappa-- Ohio State
Sigma Nu- Syracuse
Delta Gamma- Western kentucy
Delta Zeta- University of LA- Monroe
Delta Upsilon- Tennessee Tech

Before I pledged, I didn't know the significance of chapter names. There's an IFC fraternity that has the chapter letters of a NPC sorority on the same campus. The fraternity and sorority are also very close to each other. So, I assumed that it meant that the two were literal "sister" and "brother" orgs. It turned out to be a coincidence.

Alpha Phi Omega
 

Alpha Phi - Washington University
Delta Gamma - Ohio University
Delta Zeta - University of Pennsylvania
Theta Xi - Saint Louis University
Zeta Psi - University of Oregon

My chapter has letters a nat'l GLO, but of course if I list the letters, it will reveal my school. :D

Thank you for posting, I did not want to be the only one confused.

Re: Re: Re: Chapters with the same name as the frat/sorority
 

Yep. There already is. Omega Mu is my Alpha Phi Omega chapter. :D We were chartered in 1976, before ROTN was a gleam in anyone's eye, so of course it meant nothing at the time.

I don't think you're supposed to. From what I have gathered on here, "Epsilon Pi" has special meaning for initiated AGD sisters only.

The comment probably sounded a little odd out of context, but I thought Cynthia (Taualumna) might enjoy that piece of info... however the thread has gotten all twisted up here :p

Suffice to say that it's an AGD thing... :D

This isn't exactly the same thing but I think it's kinda interesting;)

GA chapter is at UGA!

Ga. Tech couldn't have GT (Gamma Tau) cause we (West Georgia) got chartered a few months earlier! ;) :D So they are Gamma Phi (which I would get confused when I first met Cele and other Gamma Phi Beta's.)

Alpha Gamma Chapter was at the U of Cinn but it's inactive.
