Huh? If Sammy did it like Fiji, Adelphi would be Gamma Nu (Garden City, NY). What does Delta Phi mean to you?

I think she means in relation to "A-DEL-PHI" being "Delta Phi"

OH! Well, it is a stretch from the Fiji thing then. (Hey, you are good at word plays!)

lol, see post 22 by TSteven. Some of the Fijis use the university name. Assuming that Alpha Upsilon had been used, it's conceivable that Sigma Alpha Nu could have used Delta Phi.

LOL! I was/am serious that you figured that out and was even going to say, hey, you must rock at Sudoku! (I totally stink at both!)

Alpha Delt doesn't use the greek letter naming convention normally, except when a local fraternity is allowed to keep their name as a chapter designator, ie: Lambda Phi (MIT), Northeastern (Nu Epsilon Zeta). Chapters are named after the school, Massachusetts, Cornell, Harvard, etc., the town the school is located in, Middletown, or in a few cases some geographic feature, such as the Great Lakes or Peninsular Chapters.
