FIJI at Texas has done this. I am not totally sure of the whole story, but something happened with nationals years back and the UT chapter split away and is now known solely as FIJI. They don't use Phi Gam whatsoever and you won't see their letters anywhere. Their dues and insurance did go up significantly which sucks, but they are now considered probobly one of the top FIJI chapters in the country. Their dues are pretty damn high though, almost double what everyone else here on campus is, even the top tier fraternities.
