It became such a habit in college to only say "Alpha Gam" when abbreviating our name that it took me awhile to adapt to "AGD" as being an acceptable version too.  |
You know, now that I think about it, no one says AGD here, really, either. It's not very pretty sounding. Pretty much EVERYONE says "Alpha Gam"...no one to get confused with, though. The only way we get confused is with ADPi sometimes, because of jerseys...apparently no one believes in using their organization's colors, so people on campus who aren't greek register an alpha and a delta but don't bother to look at the third letter or the order that they're in...not that I mind being confused with ADPi specifically, but I don't like being confused with anyone.
That reminds me...does anyone here encourage members to have jerseys made in the correct colors? If you did, did it go over well?
It is very confusing during Recruitment when 90% of the PNMs have a hard time remembering Greek letters, but can remember colors...pet peeve of mine, I guess. Mine are red, buff, and green only, with the exception of a screen printed on I was given with red letters and a white outline on a grey shirt...which is ok. I guess I can see using different colors, but really, why use someone ELSE'S color combination? At least not of the organizations on campus?
