Transposed letters and similarities....

[AGDAlum]

I've known about Alpha Delta Gamma....and wondered whether our letters mean the same thing. Any AGD - ADG couples out there?

Today I found out that there's Gamma Beta Phi as well as Gamma Phi Beta. (www.gammabetaphi.org, of course). Any GPhiB's who are GBPhi's?

My husband is an Alpha Delta Phi.
Are there any ADPi / ADPhi couples?

Pi Beta Phi and Pi Kappa Phi?

Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Gamma Delta?

Sigma Kappa and Sigma Chi or Sigma Pi or Sigma Nu?
Kappa Alpha, Kappa Delta

(Hmmm....there *could* be an Alpha Chi Omega and a Chi Omega couple; or a Sigma Nu/Sigma Chi couple....but maybe we'd better not go there.)

I believe ADPi called themselves ADPhi until they learned of a fraternity of the same name.

I knew a few AEPi and AEPhi couples. Theoretically, there could be DPhiE and Delta Phi Epsilon couples since there is a foreign service fraternity with the same names.

Someone once confused DPhiE with Delta Sigma Theta. I guess to the untrained eye Sigma and Epsilon look alike. Phi looks like a sideways Theta.

There were several within my chapter; there were a few lavalierings, and at least two couples got married. I myself briefly dated an AEPi. The AEPis at my school were, and no doubt still are, good guys.

When we first became a colony of AEPhi, more than one person came up to me and asked me when AEPi had gone coed. You would think that at an engineering school, people could tell the difference between pi and phi.

Aside from that, we had a lot of confusion because we had chapters of Phi Sigma Kappa, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Theta, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Kappa. All we needed was Phi Sigma Sigma to thoroughly confuse matters!

Every once in a while there's someone on GC that thinks Alpha Sigma Phi is a sorority, though we do share the Alpha Sig nickname between Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha Sigma Tau.

Last time I checked, Alpha Sigma Phi's been all male... though one chapter was shut down years ago for initiating females.

The foreign service DPhiE is www.deltaphiepsilon.net. There is a parallel group for women, also called Delta Phi Epsilon.
Theoretically you could be a DPhiE who is a DPhiE married to a DPhiE. (Or vice versa.) Rituals would be very interesting!

That would be true, for less than 10 years. Do I have to tell you how rare Alpha Delta Phi Sorority items are?

Anyone in Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Phi Omega?

Or how about Alpha Phi and Alpha Phi Omega?

We had a few Gamma Phi Beta members in Gamma Beta Phi (honorary society) on my campus, and their adopted local colors were the same as ours (pink), and their mascot was the same (lamb). I don't know the significance of theirs, but it was pretty funny to me.
