The Deltas on my campus do this chant all the time. That used to be the only time I ever heard the pronunciation of "akka" but now a lot of AKA interests call it that so that people won't hear them say "AKA"--a measure of being discrete, I guess. But now, so many people do it that everyone knows what you mean by it so it's pointless.

I'd think it'd be counter-productive. One might just look stupid instead of being subtle.

The AKAs I know say "akka" from time to time or in their own chants.

Ditto!! I've actually heard them use it in a chant quite similar to that.

That video was a hot mess. No discretion at all. Viewer discretion is advised, lol. The Delta call at the end was too funny. That's the revised version. I wanna hear how that sounds.
