Xi-sign vs. "fuzzies"

[baci]

In my area of the country the women are known as Alpa Xi's. There is a "fuzzy" connection, but more like "fuzzy love" that they say to each other. I know many years ago they chose "fuzzy brothers" which could have been any men on campus belonging to a fraternity, sports team , or just an independent. (the women voted on a small group) They also voted on the one man they called the "rose thorn" and this was a huge honor. The Aplha Xi Deltas were rell respected and represented.

When I was in college I thought it was kind of offensive (small chapter, so maybe we were a little defensive), but now in my old age I think it's cute and I wish it was used more. Our letters are special and making our nickname be something other than the same as everyone else I think is great. But in any case none of that bugs me as much as AZD. It's not a zeta and should NEVER be spelled that way. THAT is nails on the chalk board to me.

I think I've said it already but I'll say it again. I HATE THAT. We are not Alpha Zeta Delta, and YES it is a big deal. We just participated in a philanthropy for one of the stronger fraternities on campus, and when the brother who was running the first event called for our team he said "Alpha Zeta Delta". I think we've done great with PR and getting our name out there since colonization, so that, to me, was just a huge slap in the face.

totally agree.. it is a Xi not a Z(eta). I love that we have the greek letter Xi and I believe we are the only national sorority that does (def only NPC). so, i think it is in our best interest to play that up. it is another unique identifier. luv it!
fuzzie..not my fav. we never used it. it reminds me of hairy, which isn't good.

You're right about being the only NPC, but Theta Nu Xi is a national sorority.
