So if you don't have 50 or more chapters, it's OK for everyone and their brother to use your letters? They aren't a regional fraternity. They're national. True regionals cannot be in the NIC. Even before the internet, it's not hard to find a Baird's and look at the list of NPC or IFC affiliates.

And as far as PiKA & KA...that is NOT the same thing. They added an UPPERCASE letter, and I've never heard of PiKAs calling themselves "KA" or ADGs calling themselves just DG.

I totally understand where Kappa Crow is coming from.
