LMAO!

My school has Alpha Delta Phi, Alpha Epsilon Pi, and Alpha Epsilon Phi (chapter founder here ).

There are only 24 letters in the Greek alphabet, and most GLOs use two or three letters. Add to that the fact that the letters must stand for some secret motto - you can't exactly pick 2 or 3 letters out of a hat. As a result, there are a lot of GLOs that use similar letters. (Aside from the example I gave above, we also had Sigma Kappa, Kappa Sigma, Phi Sigma Kappa, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Phi Kappa Theta; Theta Chi and Theta Xi; Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Tau Omega, and Alpha Phi Omega ... ) There are, of course, plenty of groups that don't follow the "2 or 3 Greek letters" pattern - alpha Kappa Delta Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi, Triangle, Farmhouse, Ceres, to name a few.

But I do have to ask why the school is scheduling socials. Shouldn't that be left to the GLOs' social chairs?
