(Go figure that last one.)

FWIW.
Yay I wasn't really wrong! He got even crankier when I told him about the Alpha PHEE/Gamma PHEYE Beta thing and I called them PHEE Kappa TOW. Both Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon pronounced it TOW on our campus - I had never heard TAW until I met an Alpha Sigma Tau from Beloit.
