In reading through this form and others on this site, I have noticed that sorority members referr to them selves differntly from the way that I remember in the past. I, being an "old" head from TEXAS still use some of the "names" that we did back in the day and have come off as bing offensive while not meaning to be. So, I would like to know where you are from and what do you call you selves. Example when I was in school zpb= Zeta's, dst= Delta's, aka=AKA and sgrho= Gamma Rho's.
With the men, APhiA = Alpha's, KAPsi= Kappa, Omega Psi Phi, Omega's and PBS = Sigma's
Any whooo, I was just curious

Be Blessed!!

Sistergreek,

I'm old school too! We used the same names, with a couple of variations (and I still use those names).

AKA - AKAs, (but since becoming a member, I many times say "Alpha Kappa Alpha")
DST - Deltas
SGRho - On my campus we always called them by their whole name - Sigma Gamma Rhos
Z Phi B - either Z Phi B or Zetas

A Phi A - Alphas
KAPsi - Kappas
Omega Psi Phi - Ques
Phi Beta Sigma - Sigmas
Iota Phi Theta - Iotas (we did have them on our campus in the early 80's)

Then there were the non-greeks:

Groove Phi Groove - called them either by their whole name or Groove (as in "He's a Groove")
Swing Phi Swing - whole name or Swing (same example for Groove)

I can't get with folks calling us "K's" - I've never heard of that one before until my sister-in-law used the term, and I said "WHAT????"
