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!
Haha...my MOM called me a Kappa Alpha shortly after I got in.

I hope she was joking...

not really spelling, but my aunt pronounces ADPi like Eta Pi, and i can't get her to stop.


oh oh, but a friend from high school joined Sigma Nu, and he said when he wore his shirts when he went home his friends asked him "Summation of N?" to which he told them they were bigger nerds than him.

i usually get "whats triangle palmtree or delta palmtree?" or people mistake me for a delta tau delta. i know the upsilon can sometimes look like a T but FFS people theres no extra delta after it. another one i get is when i wear letters with the upsilon being a Y. like "whats change in Y?" or "triangle y" and a few times at? at what? or ay pronounced "I" like in chi.

Yeah, you had to be there...that or maybe it's just seems funnier in my head :D
Actually I have heard of T.T. Boi (Boy), aka Philip Rivera, so (I think) I know where you're coming from. :D

Some years ago, I worked at a Non-profit womens self help group and 95% of the staff were women. Well, A new co-worker came to work wearing a pink top with a green blazer. The pink & green craze had not caught on back then so if you were wearing the combination, it was generally assumed you were an AKA. So I asked the woman (a black woman), "You're an AKA?" Her reply ""Yes, I'm also known as ME!" :rolleyes: So I smiled and said "Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.? When did you cross?" The look she gave me was priceless. "Ummm, I'm not in a sorority."

Yeah...All righty then....
*End hijack*
lol...If I had a nickle...lol

one of friends in another sorority told me how one of her kids she watches asked what "triangle x" was since she was wearing a Delta Chi shirt (it is her boyfriends fraterity)..i thought that was sooo cute!!

then we went on to try some of the other greek orgs on campus as if a kid was saying it...turns out we think little kids would say Chi Omega would be "x horseshoe" and AOII would be "A O table" lol!

my younger sister is a freshman in college, but doesn't know the greek alphabet, so when i was asking her what sororities she has on campus, she actually said, x horseshoe for chio when trying to describe it.

luckily as a ZTA, i don't really get funny stares for my letters.

Good thread!

Brings back memories of spring break in Daytona FL (looooong ago) and a cute but very drunk non-greek boy said "Hey, that says Triangle Circle Square" thought that was pretty funny and asute, albeit incoherent.

This reminds me of the ebay seller who labeled an ATO badge, "Alfa Tau Ohm".

I get that or I get the question from my kids "Why ya wearing all the E's Ms. D?"
