Delta Sigma Theta (christian fraternity) ====> Sigma Theta Epsilon
DST was as a result of a merger between two Christian fraternities: Phi Tau Theta (founded 1925 in Lincoln, NE) and Sigma Epsilon Theta (founded 1936 at Indiana University). The name change to Sigma Theta Epsilon was for "obvious" reasons (albeit discovered 8 years after the fact).
Phi Gamma Delta (black sorority) ====> Gamma Phi Delta
Similar to the STE name change, Phi Gamma Delta changed its name for obvious reasons as well, although in G Phi D's case, they had a major incentive in their favor for doing so, among which was $10,000 cash (in 1945 dollars) and all expenses related to the name change paid in full. This was due to a technicality discovered that put the suing FIJI fraternity at a major disadvantage.
