The "Rho" thing is prevalent on the West Coast (Cali) and in some other areas where sorors don't mind being called Rho's. But the truth is, that many of my sorors can't stand to be called "Rho's" and ya might just pull back a nub if you address them as such  . From a national/international standpoint, we don't even hear/use our last letter much except when referring to our Omega Rho chapter and our youth group, the Rhoer Club...and also when creating Sigma words like "rhoyalty" and "sorhors."
And that's the "real" truth. |
So your official nickname is Sigma? I never knew that. Around here when people say "Sigma" they are generally talking about members of Phi Beta Sigma. They call Sigma Gamma Rhos SGRho's. Cuts down on confusion.
