At my daughter's school, W and L, everyone says "Snu." Since their headquarters is a couple blocks from their house, I guess that passes muster. The SAE chapter has gone by the nickname "E-dogs." I wasn't sure where THAT came from, but just plain E was probably the origin.

My favorite there is still "Guy Phi" for Pi Kappa Phi, to differentiate them from Pi Phi.
