Really? I didn't know that's who NutBrnHair is. Cool.
I'm a 25-year Chi Omega (just got a certificate this year), and if I think too long about the chapter names and order, I get a headache.

I think the ultimate in headache inducing is Lambda Chi Alpha.

Alpha Phi Omega (my GLO) falls into the boring category. Alpha -> Omega, Alpha Alpha -> Alpha Omega, Beta Alpha->....

And note, they call their chapters Zetas, so the chapter at Marshall University (currently inactive) is Zeta-Zeta Zeta.

Looks like Sigma Kappa according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...Kappa_chapters
Zeta Omega was in 1984, Theta Alpha was in 1985. (and they've also got 8 chapter letter combinations elsewhere listed as "not used for a chapter name")

Despite Alpha Omicron Pi's unique chapter naming system, I can't find any Eta_______ chapter. Single-lettered Eta at Wisconsin Madison existed from 1917 to 1944.
Also, if memory serves Irishpipes once mentioned AOTT never used the greek letter Mu until the 21st century because (a founder?) thought it sounded like 'moo'.
