Yep, we're all about giving GLOs nicknames at Dartmouth. Sigma Delta (which, point of interest, is a local that stemmed from our Sigma Kappa chapter) goes by Sigma Delt, DDD goes by Tri-Delt (as opposed to Tri-delta), (plus Phi Delt, Theta Delt, etc.) so it is kind of habit to shorten "Delta" to "Delt".
It also does alleviate some of the confusion between KD and KDE. We knew KDE had some concerns about the name similarity, and we mentioned that Kappa Delt might be a better nickname than KD and the new colony ran with it.
Nicknames are also pretty fluid. The Alpha Xi Delta chapter went by Alpha Xi until Alpha Phi came to campus, and then people started referring to them as AZD. Our local Epsilon Kappa Theta (which was originally a chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta) sometimes retains the "Theta" nickname, and sometimes goes by EKT.
I love GC because you guys assume (rightly) that Panhellenic worked their butts of to make everyone happy, instead of scapegoating us like the newspaper and the rest of the shcool!
