We had PSS & PSK, but that wasn't the issue.

There was a local fraternity called Phi Sigma - I don't know if they broke away from Phi Sigma Epsilon or if they were one of the ones that didn't want to merge w/ Phi Sigma Kappa. So there was much disagreement on who were "the real Phi Sigs." If you would have called PSK "Kappa" it would not have been pretty.

Sigma Tau Gamma tried going by "Gammas" for a few seconds because there had been an underground local fraternity w/ that nickname (Alpha Gamma Phi) and I think they wanted to seem tough. That didn't last though.

I heard someone recently calling the KDRs Kappas, and I have no idea why - is that extra syllable really hard for you? Esp when we have Kappa Alpha Psi on campus!!
