I found this interesting, also along the lines of using the last letter for nicknames. On my campus, Theta Phi Alpha is generally just known as "Theta". One of our girls visited a friend of hers on another campus and somehow came across another girl and got into the discussion of GLO's.
My sister asked the other girl what org she was in, and she replied "Theta". So my sister was like "Cool! We're sisters! Yay Theta Phi Alpha." The other girl looked at her strangely and was like, "Uhm. No. I'm a sister of Delta Sigma Theta. *OUR* nickname is Theta." My sister said the girl was quite huffy about it.

"Theta," to me, and most of the NPC community = Kappa Alpha Theta.

Yes. And I've NEVER seen a DST call themself a Theta...
I mean, their handsign is a Delta for a reason, right? Otherwise they'd probably form an "O" with thumb & forefinger and stick another finger in the middle for the "~" or something along those lines...

Then I guess it's certainly a 3-way battle. ;-)
We also go by Theta Phi, but my campus is lazy vocally; Theta Phi Alpha is just "Theta", Tri-Sigma is just "Sigma", etc, etc.

To me, any nickname such as Theta, Alpha Sig, Alpha Chi, etc. is not a non-letter nickname.

I think the non-letter went out the door on post #1.

 Not in this lifetime. Deltas, yes. Thetas, no.
