Some of the local collegians wanted to use just Gamma instead of Gamma Phi in a rap they wrote for convention this summer, but some alumnae set them straight.

I've read before that back in the day (early 20th c.) some alums wanted to call Pi Phi "Pi Beta" and some wanted to call it "Pi Phi." I guess we all know which one stuck!
