I generally don't accuse people of perping, but I've never heard any FIJI anywhere insult their own name (by calling it goofy-sounding).

ETA: I just read another post which indicates that this FIJI-objection is a chapter-wide thing. If that's the case, I retract my perp accusation. However, I've never met a FIJI chapter that, as a whole, refused to adopt its suggested nickname.

Edited again to say that I just went to Phi Gamma Delta's website where it clearly states that Phi Gamma Delta is to be called either FIJI or Phi Gam. Learn something new every day. My apologies to FIJI chapters who choose to call themselves Phi Gams.
