First name basis?

I just read a post on the ADPi board about President Emeritus Maxine Blake's 100th birthday. (Shouldn't that be "emerita," since she's a she?)

But the point of my post is this. Throughout the news release the references were to "Miss Blake." Alpha Gams are on a first-name basis from the get-go. (At initiation we are reminded of that.) I always liked that because real siblings don't use titles when talking to one another; the AGD practice acknowleged that collegians and alumnae are equally members. (Maybe it's more noticeable to me because I remember a time when not every telemarketer or sales reps called perfect strangers by their first names....but that's another thread.)

What other NPC groups (or other GLOs) have a first-name policy, or specifically don't?
