Tell that to the Sigs (Sigma Chi), not to mention the Alpha Sigs, Kappa Sigs, Phi Sigs, Delta Sigs, Sig Taus, Sig Kaps and Sig Eps. (Oops, double bad on using non-Greek letters for the last two group mentioned).
I guess maybe the Delts, Alpha Gams, Phi Delts, Phi Lambs, Pi Lams, Pi Kapps and the Phi Kaps are all being less than Greek as well. And let's not even start on the groups that mix Latin and Greek letters, like ADPi or ChiO.
I agree with 33girl -- I will certainly call any GLO by the name its members prefer, but the idea that if it's not a Greek letter, it shouldn't be a part of a GLO's name seems a strange rationalization when it's a nickname one is talking about. And to be frank, it comes off as sounding somewhat disrespectful of the many orgs whose traditional nicknames include anything other than actual Greek letters.
It seems quite enough to me for members of any group simply to say "we prefer to be called _______"
