Common Org Nicknames...
 

Am helping the undergrads with a list of common names for organizations. I was thinking of Ariesrisings pages. Anybody have that link?

Specifically - Looking for nicknames of the NIC fraternities, NPC sororities and NPHC groups.

Example:

Lambda Chi Alpha - 'Lambda Chi'
Chi Omega - 'Chi O'

There ya go!

Delta Gamma is: DG; Delta G; Dee Gee; and Delta Gam

Alpha Chi Omega=A Chi O, Alpha Chi

zeta tau alpha=zeta or z t a

Gamma Phi Beta=Gamma Phi or G Phi B.

Gamma Sigma Sigma=Gamma Sig.

Delta Delta Delta = Tri Delta, Delta, or DDD

Unoffically, we are also called Tri Delt, but I was told that we shouldn't refer to ourselves as Tri Delts because we're "Delta Delta Delta", and not "Delt Delt Delt". The term is used anyway, both by members and non-members alike :)

Alpha Xi Delta: A Zee Dee, Alpha xi, xi, and fuzzie

Pi Beta Phi = Pi Phi.

sigma kappa = sig kaps, snakey k's, sk's

NPHC...

Apha Phi Alpha - Alphas
Kappa Alpha Psi - Kappas
Omega Phi Psi - Ques, Q-Dog
Phi Beta Sigma - Sigmas

Alpha Kappa Alpha - AKAs
Delta Sigma Theta - DST or Deltas (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Zeta Phi Beta - Zetas
Sigma Gamma Rho - SGRho (not to sure if there is another one)

Sigma Sigma Sigma - Tri Sigma
Alpha Sigma Alpha - ASA or Alpha Sigs
Kappa Delta - KD, Kay Dees
Sigma Kappa - Snakey Kay's (they are trying to get away from that)
Kappa Alpha Theta - Thetas
Kappa Kappa Gamma - Kappas


ok I will give others a chance

Zeta Sigma Chi - Z-Chis

A member of Zeta Psi = Zete

That's OK. Delta Tau Delta is known universally as "Delts."

Thanks all!

Rashid's link gave me everything I need.

Sigma Kappa is more commonly referred to as SigKap or Sigma K instead of Snakey K.

The Site that Rashid gave is ariesrisings Site.

If you have not checked please do and save it!:)

She put in a ton of work before She ever AIed and is well worth while to get inforomation on GLOs.:cool:

Alpha Phi Omega: APO (most common), A Phi O, A Phi Que

Alpha Omicron Pi = AOII (incorrectly noted as "AOPi")

Actually, I believe "A Phi O" is more commonly spoken, and APO is more common in writting. Most Brothers I know say "APhiO".

APO vs APhiO
 

It really depends where you are. In this Region, "APO" is both written and spoken. In other parts of the country, "APhiO" is more commonly spoken.

I've been pondering this since I read your post. What's the difference between writing AOII and AOPi? The "II" in the first isn't really a proper Pi, right?? No offense intended at all -- just wondering!

Anyway, Theta Nu Xi:

Theta Woman
Theta Women
Theta Nus
Thetas (on campuses without Kappa Alpha Theta)

Phi Kappa Psi
 

We are known as "Phi Psi."

Occasionally we'll also hear KKG and Kappa Gams, though that's mostly been in older songs.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon's also known as SAE's. members at southern chapters are widely refered to as E's, and apparently the midwestern chapters like to be called Sig Alphs.

True and thanks for asking! Using the spelled out Pi is mixing forms. Therefore, II is used as a more correct representation.
:)

AOII is also nicknamed, "Alpha O."
Silver

Actually Kappas are also called Nupes.

Alpha Delta Pi is usually ADPi (pronounced "Ay Dee Pie"), but some of the older books refer to us as either Alphas, Alpha Delts, or Alpha Deltas.

ADPi is the most preferred, however.

Alpha Sigma Taus are usually called ASTs, Taus, or Alpha Taus

Theta Delta Chi has many nicknames, based on which institution it is associated with. Some of nicknames I have came across:

Theta Delts (in most of colleges)
Thumpers (Iowa State)
Thumpty (Cornell)
Thetes (Brown)
