Originally posted by TigerLilly Preciousjeni, what you said about some girls not liking to be called ONE or whatever reminded me of how AXiD, how sometimes we're called Fuzzies. Some chapters use that exclusively, others violently hate it. I don't use it since my chapter didn't, but I don't mind when people do. I rather like using Alpha Xi instead of AXiD, but I'm just not in the habit of doing so.

I've never
actually met a sister from a chapter that went by "Fuzzies." Ick. I hate it! I always thought that was just some nickname from the 50s that stuck...I dunno. I didn't think they were serious when I learned that that was a nickname.
I always say Alpha Xi, it's easier than saying AZD and sounds better. Although I have had a few people confuse me saying Alpha Xi with Alpha Phi. I don't know why.
