In this case, listen to the message, not the messenger. Erik may not put it across as nicely as he could, but I agree with him. It's not the same as "Philly" or "MIT" - I've never heard of anyone from either of those being upset about the use of those terms.

I've been told by fraternity men at my school (hardly the political correctness haven of the USA) that they find it offensive, so that's reason enough for me never to use it again. Sigma Chis have told me they don't like "Sig Chi" so I don't use that either.
