I'm a brother of Kappa Delta Phi national fraternity.
we are a NIC Greek org and has been in existence since 1900.
we have a National Affiliate Sorority. they were KDP nas. we share many of the same values and traditions. However their always have the NAS in their letters. they NEVER just wear KDPhi as their letters.
it is more then a little disturbing to see another Greek org using our letters. and by that i make reference to alpha KDPhi.
if they knew that there was already a KDPhi out there why use our letters and work around it with just using a smaller case a?which they seem to not use half the time.
if a new org wants to be called TKE or ZBT and learn that those letters are already in use, what's next? lower case bTKE?
or xZBT? any way you get the idea.
i find it more disturbing that they often do not wear or display the lower case a on their shirts and websites often just calling themselves KDPhi, in essence, stealing my over 100 year old letters.
if someone out there wanted to name themselves Kappa Zeta Phi, i wouldn't care. and why? cause it's a Zeta and not a Delta that can easily and readily dropped from their letters. even if KZphi wanted to to drop the Z they would be KPhi.
alpha Kappa delta Phi appears to have no problem in dropping their alpha in a great deal of their web literature and pictures.
in any case. I hold no ill will toward the sisters of alpha Kappa Delta Phi and wish them well. I just wish they had not used our over 100 year old letters. Hopefully there will be no beta Kappa Delta phis or gamma Kappa delta phis in the near future to further complicate the issue.
