Dumb question, but I did look on the National website first...

Why is the alpha in aKDPhi lowercase? (I apologize if that is for initiated members to know only)

As taken from a fellow sister's post:

"Our founders had intentions of using KDPhi as our letters, but when it became known that there was another fraternity, they adopted the fourth letter (alpha). The alpha is lowercase to exemplify a subscript (does not constitute a fourth "real" letter). Our letters stand for something as do many other greek letter organizations, but the alpha is used to distinguish us and does not have significance other than that."
