So, I would like to know where you are from and what do you call you selves. Example when I was in school zpb= Zeta's, dst= Delta's, aka=AKA and sgrho= Gamma Rho's.
With the men, APhiA = Alpha's, KAPsi= Kappa, Omega Psi Phi, Omega's and PBS = Sigma's
Any whooo, I was just curious 
Be Blessed!!

Sistergreek,
I'm old school too! We used the same names, with a couple of variations (and I still use those names).
AKA - AKAs, (but since becoming a member, I many times say "Alpha Kappa Alpha")
DST - Deltas
SGRho - On my campus we always called them by their whole name - Sigma Gamma Rhos
Z Phi B - either Z Phi B or Zetas
A Phi A - Alphas
KAPsi - Kappas
Omega Psi Phi - Ques
Phi Beta Sigma - Sigmas
Iota Phi Theta - Iotas (we did have them on our campus in the early 80's)
Then there were the non-greeks:
Groove Phi Groove - called them either by their whole name or Groove (as in "He's a Groove")
Swing Phi Swing - whole name or Swing (same example for Groove)
I can't get with folks calling us "K's" - I've never heard of that one before until my sister-in-law used the term, and I said "WHAT????"
