Interesting.

At Murray State, four of the five NPC sororities start with Alpha. At the NPC peak (i.e. seven NPC chapters on campus), five of seven started with Alpha. Of the five, all had Alpha or an "A" in their nickmame, but none were referred solely as Alpha.

Side note: When Alpha Phi Alpha chartered at Murray State, they were - from day one - called Alpha. And Alpha Kappa Alpha was (is) AKA.

My guess is that is that what ever the local chapter decides to call itself, becomes the norm on campus.
