Just FYI, I have the impression that some groups have "common" names for their officers that they use in ordinary circumstances, but they also have ritual designations that only the initiated would know.

We (Phi Mu Alpha) use the basic president, vice-president, etc. From the time we became national until 1947, national officers were designated "Supreme" (
e.g., Supreme President). After 1947, "National" replaced "Supreme." Couldn't tell you why.
I know that some groups use masonic terminology, like (Worthy) Grand Master. And if I recall correctly, KA Order chapters uses numbers (
e.g., I (President), II (Vice-president). III (Recording Secretary)), while the national president is called the Knight Commander.
