That is so interesting! When I was at Duke we heard about SPE because they had had their charter revoked and went out with a crazy party called "SPE ya later", probably in the early to mid-90's (Duke's website about greek life history is SO wrong!). Then they rechartered my senior year and everyone at Duke wanted to call them SPE and they kept telling us "no, it's SigEp". At the time they said they were doing this to distance their image from the SPEs that had been kicked off a few years earlier!
