I can't think of Sorority ones for some reason. Anyone?

Squids?! Where does THAT come from...we just call them "Kappa Sigs"

and Dukes?! We call them either just "D.U." or some people call them "Ducks"

I've heard all the rest....too bad nobody calls us something cool like "Snakes" on my campus though....

Sigma Who? comes to mind.

No mean ones. I know mean ones for pretty much every GLO. That aint what I'm asking about.

One one campus, I've heard that the SigEps are called "Speees" (I honestly have no idea how many E's to add to the end of that word!) based on the abbreviation SPE.

That is the first and only time I've heard of that one!

I've mentioned this before, but when I started at IU in 1991, the unofficial guidebook said that the nickname for (I think) AEPhi was "Phisters." I've never heard anyone actually use that, though.

Duke was the only campus I'd ever heard Sig Eps called SPEs.

For some reason this reminds me of a DJ Scrilla song where he says "SPEasy and DGeezy...off the heezy for sheezy." Oh, Scrilla.

Is there a lot of fraternities that start with Sigma Phi on your campus? I've never heard of a nickname based on the last letter. At my campus, we call ΛXA "Lambs". Most others are based on their letters:

Phi Sigma Kappa: "Phi Sigs"

Sigma Phi Epsilon: "Sig Eps"

Pi Kappa Alpha: "Pi Kaps"

Delta Sigma Phi: "Digs" (by people outside their influence for possibly burying pledges prior to recolonization) "Delta Sigs" by themselves".

Lambda Chi Alpha: "Lambs"

Sigma Nu: "Sig Nu"


Sororities:

Delta Delta Delta: "Tri Delts"

Zeta Tau Alpha: "Zetas".

Pi Beta Phi: "Phi Phis"

Alpha Chi Omega: "Alpha Chis"

Alpha Xi Delta: "Alpha Zs"

Alpha Sigma Tau = Taus

I believe that this is used because LOTS of sororities have Alpha and Sigma in their name, but I think they're the only (or one of the only) with Tau in their name.
