Congrats! At the university where I advise, I was told you couldn't be called specifically "PX" as a result of a copyright conflict with prescriptions (the symbol is also "PX". they now use "Gamma PX" to get around the PX conflict...

You don't have anything like that?

P.S. How the heck do I use Greek Letters rather than spelling everything out? I have yet to figure this out?!

Congratulations, PhoenixAzul!! I'm sure you'll have a great time, and be an even better Rho Chi!!

You can get the Greek letters by using (font=symbol)ACW(/font), only substitute brackets [] for the parentheses ().

I thought the prescription sign was RX?

That's actually a misnomer...it looks like RX, but really the "P" = Rho which ended up becoming RX (I've worked with psychiatrists for years and have heard the evolutions of this).

As a result, at my campus at least, they can no longer use PX...I think it's dumb..."you don't monkey with tradition!" LOL

Well I'll be damned. I never knew that. But I suppose our school is so small I suppose it doesnt really matter.

Not to worry! I still get omega, theta, psi, and xi mixed up, and have to try them out first!

Actually it was because there is a pharmaceutical fraternity called "Rho Chi." It didn't have to do with prescriptions themselves.

Anyway, we can't be called PX's anymore beacause of that existing group. NPC voted on Sigma Rho Chi as the new name, but also left it up to individual campuses to decide how to rename the Recruitment Counselors.

Personally, I really liked the name UCF gave to the fraternity "recruitment counselors"-- they were called G.L.C.'s, or Greek Life Consultants. I just really like that name. Not every thing needs to have Greek Letters in it!

Esp. for a PNM who can't tell Alpha from Omega.

Congrats to PhoenixAzul!!!! I was a Gamma Chi (we had to change ours too) or Greek Counselor when I was in college. It's hard sometimes, but honestly, one of the best experiences I've ever had!!! I know you will enjoy it, and learn so much!

PSUSigKap · #13 10-18-2004, 12:24 AM

yea for you! i was a Pi Chi (panhellenic counselor, that's what penn state decided to change the name to) last year and it was one of the best greek experiences i had! you're gonna have so much fun!!!!
