One time at the First Look Fair (every campus organization has a booth set up on the mall), someone came up and said, "So what is your full name, Sigma Kappa Kappa?" When we told him that some GLOs only have two letters (and I have heard of a couple that have 4), he thought it was less 'Greek' to not have 3 letters.
This has nothing to do with why I chose Sigma Kappa, but when you have 2 letters, it fits more nicely on a smaller shirt (now that average sized girls don't see the need to swim in XL shirts). When I was flyering for recruitment with some other Rho Gammas, (an AChiO and 2 Thetas) and we were talking about letters and they all said they don't like to wear letters because when you have three 4" letters, they go from armpit to armpit. If you get 3" letters, it fits very nicely, but they aren't as widely available as 4" letters.
I remember being excited to go to Theta when I went through recruitment because their colors are black and gold and I am a huge Steelers fan!
I liked how Alpha Chi Omega began in the School of Music when it was founded. I also liked their philanthropy. I thought I fit in, but it ended up not being the place for me.
About the SDT looking like EAT, the SDTs embrace it at UMD. There's a shirt with Tony the Tiger (Frosted Flakes) that says "We're Grrrrrr
SDT!" They also have a philanthropy event called "
SDT your way through College Park, where restaurants give some of their profits to SDT's philanthropy if you eat there on the designated night. I also think they have a shirt that says "
SDT your heart out". I was at a PHA meeting once and this kid who was running for SGA was talking about the chapter houses owned by the University and he mentioned "Sigma Alpha Tau" and I just cringed. The kid was obviously not Greek.
I have a lot of pet peeves, but one of my biggest ones is when people say "EK" or write "EK". Especially people who should know better
and should have learned how to make Sigmas.
