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.

Actually, ksigkid was GM during the time that I was GMC for our chapter, so we're both quite cognizant of the Docet's dictum that the 'official' nickname is "Kappa Sig."
However, shorthand or titular references to self are different than espousing an official nickname - I hope you do understand that. Unless your entire garden is planted with lilies of the valley, feel free to keep subjective terms such as "inexcusable" to yourself, and/or bring this sort of thing to PM, and/or punch yourself in the crotch, and/or take it up with IMH, and/or act like a real human being instead of some sort of automaton that lives in a black-and-white world whereas the rest of us see in vibrant TechniColor.
Seriously - this is a total non-issue. I guarantee that no one will think less of Kappa Sigma, internationally or locally, because of screen names that happen to both come from the same college where other houses often use both the official nickname and a shorthand version, and never out of disrespect.
I'm pretty sure ksigkid has done nothing but bring honor to Kappa Sigma on this board (and in real life). If you find anyone who disagrees, let me know - and if you'd like to compare your contribution, feel free.
