Non Greek-lettered fraternal organizations?

(semantics, people, I think we all knew what Tristan was getting at)

At Iowa State there's Adelante--local fraternity (but I think they occasionally will use Alpha Delta Lambda).

ETA: He's had his name changed for a while....

DSTCHAOS 08-15-2005 06:01 PM

Stop trying to understand the phrasing of the topic and just compliment DeltaSigStan on his name change. :)

We have a local fraternity that is called "Archon" but they occasionally go by AXN. There was a local sorority here that back in the day went by "Athena" but now are XOA.

These two groups are the same thing...they just can't decide on a national name...

The University of Northern British Columbia's local, Alpha Pi Beta called themselves "Sorority" for a little while.

Here is an old link that I posted about them:

Alpha Pi Beta

American Commons Club

PhoenixAzul 08-16-2005 03:55 PM

Before 1920, all of Otterbein's fraternities were non Greek Letter...most still retain their names in some form.

Sororities
Tomo Dachi (Tau Delta)
Talisman (Tau Epsilon Mu)
Arbutus(Epsilon Kappa Tau)
Onyx (Kappa Phi Omega)
Owls (Sigma Alpha Tau)
Greenwhich (Theta Nu)
Arkady (Rho Kappa Delta) (inactive, possibly refounding)

Fraternities
Country Club (Pi Kappa Phi (not national))
Kings (Lambda Gamma Epsilon)
Sphinx (Sigma Delta Phi, orig. Delta Sigma Phi...name changed after attempted absorbtion by national org was voted down)
Rats (Zeta Phi...rumor has it that it was origonally "Stars" but "Rats" was cooler and it was "Star" backwards?)
Jonda (Eta Phi Mu)
I don't believe that Pi Beta Sigma ever operated under a different moniker, chosing to fight the ban rather than operate clandestinely...but if they did use one it would be "Bulls".

Went dormant in the mid 80's...some thought it would return when Clyde Drexler became the basketball coach there but it didn't pan out. I guess the "recolonization" wasn't successful.

Malika Kambe Umfazi Sorority, Inc. I have friends who are members.

Malik Fraternity, Inc. (as Stan mentioned in his first post) used to be known as Malik Sigma Psi, but in the past few years dropped the Greek letters.

Then there is KMT (Kemet) in Atlanta somewhere....don't know much about them.

I graduated from the University of Akron and just to show how clueless I am about fraternities I had NO IDEA that Lone Star was a local.

CutiePie2000 08-21-2005 02:23 PM

University of British Columbia has Phrateres (they used to be at U of Arizona and at UCLA too, but ages ago).

U of Hawaii has a few Hawaiian-named fraternities and Japanese-named GLOs too (paging OTW).

the IFC at Texas actually invited Tejas to join once, but the Tejas Club rejected and prefered to remain independent, although I agree they do act like another other fraternity on campus.

I'M SORRY WHAT???

MysticCat 08-22-2005 10:38 AM

Well, in some ways we might qualify -- or at least we're a hybrid of Greek-letter and non-Greek-letter.

We were founded as The Sinfonia Fraternity, and altough the letters F,M and A had meaning to us and appeared on our badge from a very early date, they were not officially added to our name until 1946. And even then we kept "Sinfonia" in the name. "Sinfonia' is still considered the proper "short hand" name for the Fraternity, and brothers are properly called "Sinfonians" (not "Phi Mu Alphas").

I didn't go to UT, so when I moved to Austin and saw their house, I wondered what the heck it was. Thanks for clearing it up!! :)

Yea... I agree... The MB's were created as a joke about 5 years ago to basically be the anti greek organization on campus, and although they are not officially recognized by the school the MB's are quite active and have actually pretty much evolved into a full fledged fraternity... It's actually incredibly interesting considering they were founded upon hate of Societies, and yet over time they created traditions, pledging rites, throw parties and have paraphanalia... haha funny stuff, I'm personally doing everything in my power to get them to become official or to die out, because they could be beneficial if they played ball, but as long as they are being anti-social then they are a big thron in my side

Lindz928 08-23-2005 11:12 AM

Texas A&M also has One Army... While technically a "men's service organization" they were pretty much a fraternity when I was in school. They didn't have a house or anything, but they participated in everything that the greeks did. They did sorority philanthropy stuff and had social events and mixers. They also had a recruitment process that was fairly similar to fraternity rush. A very nice group of guys.

There was also Ol'Ags and one other (sort of anti-greek but still fraternity-like) group that I can't remember the name of right now. All of them were only on our campus. :)
