Any Fijis out there who want to comment on that?

I am not a member of Phi Gamma Delta, however, my former upstairs neighbor is a Fiji and we discussed this before. Granted it was at a party so my recollection may not be what it should be.
My understanding is that not all chapters are named in that way (name of the school or city), but most are. As I recall, (may be wrong, so please correct) Fiji's chapter designations started with the single letter chapters (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.), then at some point, the chapters were named after either the city or college.
For example, his Fiji chapter at The University of Colorado is Beta Kappa - for Bolder, Colorado. The Fiji chapter at The University of Kentucky is Upsilon Kappa named for University of Kentucky.
FYI: I believe that Alpha Epsilon Pi may do something similar. UK's chapter, now inactive, was Lambda Kappa (Lexington, Kentucky).
