For Alpha Sigma Tau, I've heard "Alpha Taus", "Taus" and "ASTs". One chapter I met at convention (there's probably more than one though) were known as the "Alpha Sigs" on their campus. That really messed with my head because on my campus, ASA was known as the "Alpha Sigs".

**Apparently on my campus (when I was there) we couldn't do any nickname with less than two syllables! Here's the list that we had:
AST=Alpha Taus
ASA=Alpha Sigs
DZ=DZ (or Delta Zeta, cause it was as short as the 'nicknames')
AZD=Alpha Xis

Fraternities:
Phi Sigma Kappa=Phi Sigs
Sigma Phi Epsilon=Sig Eps
Phi Lambda Chi=Phi Lambs
Sigma Tau Gamma=Sig Taus
Theta Xi=Theta Xi (again, no need to shorten it!!)

On your campus, do all the groups have a similar naming system, or are some groups known by one word names (Taus) while others are known by two words or English letters (Sig Ep or ASA)?
