People misreading letters willhappen no matter what and so you need to decide on letters that represent what you stand for, not appearances (side note: the local I was a member of chose the letters because of the first two founders' names and the third letter was decided on because it was more asthetically pleasing than another!).
Did the founders of Alpha Gamma Delta consider no choosing those letters because they might be confused with Alpha Xi Delta?

You just reminded me of something that we were actually discussing earlier today. Even though we tried to stay away from Nat'l sounding names, staying away from local names took the top priority. Also, like I stated before, the letter meanings meant more to us than anything. We even arranged the letters differently but, it was not very aesthetically pleasing. *please note, I'm very anal retentive on these type of things

See, we have a local that has a name VERY similar to 2 Nat'l sororities and they wish to call themselves by the Nat'l nicknames. We didn't set out to do that. We have already decided that our "name" will simply be Kappa's. Heck, the very FIRST name started out with Kappa Gamma! lol!
