There was a Theta Pi Alpha at Penn State, but they've since merged with another sorority.
Probably every one of the NPC groups has a local or some other org out there using the same nickname. For what it's worth, some Theta Phi Alpha chapters go by "Thetas" which is what Kappa Alpha Theta's national nickname is. I don't believe they share any campuses. Not to mention boy Phi Sigs/girl Phi Sigs and things like that.
I honestly don't think using the same nickname is a big deal, by itself. But when you use the same nickname, colors, philanthropy, mascot...then yeah, that's a bit much. I looked at the SUNY chapter's site and I don't think anyone would confuse them with Alpha Omicron Pi because the colors and imagery are different. That group in Y-town though...
