For example, Univ of Oklahoma, in Norman is:
Nu Omicron (Norman Oklahoma)
University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is:
Phi Alpha (Fayetteville, Arkansas)
I thought it was kind of clever.

Two examples I know of.
University of Kentucky = Upsilon Kappa Chapter
Texas A&M University = Alpha Mu Chapter

Bumping...I know this is an old thread, but it was linked in the other one. This is probably the better space to have the discussion that was going on there anyway...
The UT Austin FIJI Chapter is Tau Deuteron. "Tau", clearly from "Texas", and I have read in other threads that deuteron is sometimes used for a chapter that was closed and then recolonized. I'm not sure that's the case with this one. Does anyone know the history on this?
My ignorance and confession - when I was in college, I didn't even realize that "deuteron" wasn't a "real" greek letter!
