A lot of people have asked me what ONE means and have no idea that we are even a greek organization because they just think that it is the word ONE that I am wearing around everywhere, and then you always get, "Aaww how cute, what a cute idea!" (Kind of annoying.)

My sister Elizabeth made me a pillow with a bunch of DG stuff cross-stitched on the front for my birthday right before I pledged (I'd gotten a bid in the spring). I took it home and everyone in my very-non-Greek family was asking me what Triangle-R was. :rolleyes:

I've been asked what A O T T means.

I read the post about people being confused about Alpha Phi pronouncing Phi as Phee. My husband is half-Greek...not by initiation but by birth to a man who immigrated from Greece. He says we pronounce many of the greek letters wrong. AOII should be Alpha Omicron Pee not Pie. Phi is pronounced Phee since there is no "I" sound in the greek language. Iota is Yota. I could go on but I won't!

I'm an A-O, A-O Cutie Cutie Pi!
And I'll be one til the day, the day I die!

i was in my campus greek life office picking up greek pages for my chapter and our package had a post it note on it with greek letters Delta Psi instead of Delta Upsilon. thanks asu greek life office for knowing which fraternities you have.

im from sigma lambda gamma and i get "wut's EAR or EAT?"

ha... annoyin!

Yes.

Ditto Soror!

Is it bad that I have They Might Be Giants "Triangle Man" running through my head now???

At my chapter of Delta Tau Delta, we some times referred to it as Shelta Tau Shelta; Delts sometimes call the house their shelter. Delts also have a song "Delt Shelter". I know, I know, kind of geeky.

TEP has been listed in newspaers and all sorts of things as Tau Epsilon Pi even by sororities and IFC

This little girl asked my friend who is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi was his girlfriend named Kay when he had on his shirt.

I like this post. See, I used to teach NT Greek and we went over this stuff in differentiating between the ancient and Modern Greek pronunciations. In my Fraternity, you can tell who are real "old school" brothers (made in the '40s or older) by the way they pronounce Omega in the name of the Fraternity. Not "O-may-ga" but "O-me-ga." This is in accordance with proper pronunciation.

a few years back my pledge bro was walking though campus wearing a Sigma Nu belt buckle he made and this guy thought that his name was Ian

Sigma Nu
 

Have had other greeks that have seen stuff on the internet and think Sigma Nu stands for Sons of Napoleon.


OK

most non greek people call us Nu Epsilon Chi (N E X) rather than Nu Sigma Chi.... we're used to it but its still annoying... (we usually call ourselves nu sig)
