In the midwest we're not the fuzzies and we don't use hand signs. I HATE the fuzzies thing... sounds stupid to me really. Just my personal thought on it.

We're known as AZDs on my campus. We do the hand sign. "Fuzzies"....is just a word that is so wrong on so many levels....I think if someone ever called me that I'd have to backhand them.

We used the hand sign at UTK as well. Does anyone ever think badly of using AZD? If we are actually using the Greek-English alphabet to establish lettering, it should be AXD, "Z" isn't the right letter.

Sorry to crash your thread, but when I was @ UF in the 80s & AXiD was there, they referred to themselves as "Fuzzies" & even used Fozzie Bear from The Muppets as an unofficial mascot.

I know when I first heard it (our A Xi Ds didn't use it) it made me think they needed to shave their legs, LOL. But the chapters that still use it seem to like it. It's all in what you're used to. We have an ASA chapter (one of our oldest chapters) that goes by the nickname "Apples." Their campus is fine with it, but I think if we had ever said "come on over to the Apple house" at our school they would have laughed us out of town.

We were taught as new members that fuzzies was a nickname for Alpha Xi. We used it occasionally amongst ourselves, but no one else on campus ever called us that. We were AXiD to everyone else. We were taught to never write out AZD (because our second letter is not zeta), but if we wanted to write a shortened version to use AXiD. As far as hand signs, I had never heard of them until I came to GC.
