One of my favorites. Especially since the original Greek Letters for the Fraternity were Sigma Phi.

The other one that seems to get a lot of "No really, this is what it means," is Phi Kappa Tau: Fellowship of the Knights Templar.

If it wasn't known before, then I bet this took off in the mid to late 1970s. In the stage production "Vanities" (1976; the t.v. movie first aired in 1981), three Texas high school cheerleaders all pledge Kappa Kappa Gamma in college. One of the lines they all recite together regarding Kappa is "Noble Noble Women with the Key to the Kingdom of God." When I was in college, the UK Kappas would often repeat this phrase themselves. More to throw people off... allegedly.

LOL. I can hear them now, wistfully saying "KKG! KKG! KKG E-ter-nal-ly."

Good play.

From "Vanities"
(Scene I takes place in the Fall of 1963)

School Intercom: Students, I am sad to announce that the President has been shot.

Joanne: The president of the student council has been shot?

Kathy: Oh, my God!

School Intercom: The President was gunned down in Dallas.

Joanne: Dallas? I just saw him in algebra!

School Intercom: If this report is true, classes will be dismissed for the rest of the day.

Kathy: What about the pep rally?

School Intercom: In any case, the football game will take place, as planned, this evening.

All Cheerleaders: Oh, thank God!
