Kind of off the main topic about non-greek pet peeves... At our student senate we had a hard time getting the non-greek people there to use the right nicknames for the sororities. They would call KAT "Kappas" and GPBs "Gammas." They also had a habbit of putting KK7 instead of KKG on things. Oy...

on the topic of non greek pet peeves, soooo many people say N E X (and its a nickname of ours) but they get confused when they see a sigma versus an E (like not realizing that it's the same organization) and Chi... lordy so many ppl say "chai" instead of "chi"
we actually had a host at an even say nu sigma "chai" and we all yelled out it's CHI!!!!! lol

and we had SDT at our school use the EAT reference too, having a shirt say "SDT your heart out", I thought it was sooo cute too!
