kappa2: Yes, unfortunately one will from time to time see Kappa Sigmas who use the initials KE rather than KS, even on their chapter's website. One will also occasionally see Kappa Sigmas refer to themselves as K Sigs, which is totally incorrect. Although I believe that every chapter's pledge training ... oops, new member education .... includes the direction/instruction that a Kappa Sigma should not to refer to himself as a K Sig, that the correct short form is Kappa Sig, one nevertheless does find initiated members who use that incorrect term. In fact, believe one of the posters on this forum uses the handle K Sig Kid. Inexcusable.

Sorry to drop in on this convo, but, um.. really?

Inexcusable? Wow, that's kind of ridiculous. You do realize that usernames, many times, are abbreviations? I didn't realize everyone was supposed to use their full, correct org. names for their IDs. I guess I should change mine to AlphaSigmaTauAlumna06. Rather long, but I guess to call myself anything shorter (AST, Alpha Sig Tau, Alpha Sig, Alpha Tau, or any other abbreviations we sometimes use) would not be forgiven.

You guys don't have them or you would have probably gotten the NEVER CALL US SIG CHI lecture from a Sigma Chi at some point. I know I did.

There are certain combos that stick under certain groups' craws, but honestly, usernames are a different story. KappaSig Kid might have been already taken, but apparently Mensa didn't think of that concept.

And isn't it possilbe that in a username, the K in "KSig" = "Kappa," not "Kay"?

I honestly didn't even think of putting it as "KappaSigKid" as opposed to KSigKid. I registered for the site in 2001, as a sophomore in college, a little less than a year after my initiation. This is the first time anyone has ever told me that my screen name was "inexcusable," and I know that there are Kappa Sigmas who post and view the board who have positions of authority within the fraternity. Why this is an issue, 7 years after I started posting, I don't know.

I feel like I've been a good representative of the fraternity while I've posted on the board; I've tried to help out other brothers, and I've tried to answer appropriate questions, when I have been able to do so. I've never revealed anything I shouldn't reveal, and I've never disrespected the fraternity.

But, again, if there is a serious problem with my screen name, from a Kappa Sigma perspective, I would appreciate a PM to discuss said issues.
