Same may apply to shortening the fraternity name. Unless you know for sure the person you are speaking with will not be offended by it, don’t shorten the fraternity's name.
This. Some universities use different nicknames than others. For instance, at my campus the Lambda Chi Alphas are known as the Lambdas, not Lambda Chis. Pi Kappa Alphas are PIKAs not Pikes. Pi Kappa Phis are Pi Phis (Guy Phis, sometimes, to distinguish them from the sorority) not Pi Kapps.
