I think i started the craziness about the II rather than Pi on the AI link - oops

Here is why we use two i's or the symbol for pi that you can find in most word fonts under symbols instead of "P i" - it is just our reasoning

"Alpha," "Omicron," and "Pi" are the Greek letters standing for our motto. Alpha Omicron Pi also has a shortened form of its name by which it is known: AOII. This is written in the form "AOII" using the Greek symbol "II" and not "Pi." To do otherwise would be grammatically incorrect in mixing styles of letters.

we use A because it is the symbol for Alpha not because it is the first letter
O because it is the symbol for Omicron
II because it is the symbol for Pi

i don't think i am explaining this very well - i apologize!!

I think as you said it is just a gramatical choice - i don't know if ADPi has a reasoning or stance on it..... my cousins are adpi's i'll ask?
