A topic in Theta Nu Xi's forum sparked this. Are there nicknames you prefer for your organization and some you can't stand? Perhaps it will be a lesson to us all, especially those who innocently have been using inappropriate terms to describe your org.
I'll start...
I prefer to be called a "Theta Nu" or "Theta Woman." I've found that other Theta Nus don't necessarily like to be called "ONEs" or "ONE girls." I haven't experienced this yet, so I'm not sure how I would react. I do know that I was wearing my letter pin recently and someone said, "What's ONE?" I said, "It says Theta Nu Xi. It's a multicultural sorority." Of course, I got the crazy look and have to MOVE ON!
I wanted to let you know of some nicknames I've heard people say in my college town, but I'd prefer to ask individual members of these sororities if they'd like for me to put them on this thread or not.
Those sororities are Alpha Gamma Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Delta Pi and Delta Phi Epsilon. *These nicknames are ignorant so I'm not just going to post them without consideration for your orgs!!!
Edited to add: I know there are other nickname threads, but most just stated nicknames rather than what members prefer to be called and what they hate to be called!
