Sorry to crash your thread, but when I was @ UF in the 80s & AXiD was there, they referred to themselves as "Fuzzies" & even used Fozzie Bear from The Muppets as an unofficial mascot.

I know when I first heard it (our A Xi Ds didn't use it) it made me think they needed to shave their legs, LOL. But the chapters that still use it seem to like it. It's all in what you're used to. We have an ASA chapter (one of our oldest chapters) that goes by the nickname "Apples." Their campus is fine with it, but I think if we had ever said "come on over to the Apple house" at our school they would have laughed us out of town.

We were taught as new members that fuzzies was a nickname for Alpha Xi. We used it occasionally amongst ourselves, but no one else on campus ever called us that. We were AXiD to everyone else. We were taught to never write out AZD (because our second letter is not zeta), but if we wanted to write a shortened version to use AXiD. As far as hand signs, I had never heard of them until I came to GC.

Auburn didn't have a hand sign until fall 2003 (my junior year). I think someone in my chapter learned it at Convention that summer. As for nicknames and what is or is not appropriate, I think it all depends on the campus. If your chapter has been known as the Fuzzies forever and everybody knows you as that, I don't think it needs to be changed. Also, before Betxi Bear was the mascot, it was Al Fuzzy.
ETA: I dod a google search for "al fuzzy" and this popped up. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0820607/ Check out the sometimes credited as section and year of birth!

I also came from a chapter where we were fuzzies. Never seemed strange or silly to use.
We didn't have hand signs. In this day and age, those can get you shot in the wrong places.
Why worry about who uses what? Let each do what they want!

IN THE WRONG PLACES.
And while you're quoting me, why not add what my last line said? I said to let everyone do what they want!
