Xi-sign vs. "fuzzies"

Alpha Xi Delta is still known as Fuzzy at Ohio State and Miami University. Must be an Ohio thing.

I know this is an old thread... but my biological sister is a Alpha Xi Delta sister. She's and alumni of the Delta Pi chapter. It's in Ohio, and yeah, they have fleece jackets that say Fuzzies on them. We were at a family function in ohio and an alum from a different chapter recognized her and was like, "I'm a fuzzy too!!" I think it's cool that you guys have a nickname you all can recognize. Even if it's only big in ohio. but AxiD seems big in ohio.

I love my sis and i'm glad she joined AxiD, her self worth, and her self esteem grew so much in just the first year. She grew into this beautiful woman who I look up to very much. I do attribute alot of that to her involvment in Alpha Xi Delta. I'm so greatful she found such an amazing sisterhood! I'm in Delta Phi Epsilon, but if I went to a school that had AxiD i would have prolly had that as my first choice. haha. Either way, I do believe AxiD ladies are a cut above most other sororties (of course not above mine ;-) haha).

Our PR VP & exec board just recently announced that we're going to start using Fuzzies as our nickname. They had some kind of training a few weekends ago, and while talking to the Miami of Ohio girls, who said Fuzzies works really well for them on their campus, they decided we should give it a shot as we're still trying to make a name for myself.

There were few groans when they announced it, but a few cheers too. I'm still not sure about it; I neither love it nor hate it. It is, however, my least favorite of our nicknames. I like Alpha Xi the best, then AXiD (of COURSE spelled that way, not AZD or even AXD), and THEN Fuzzies.
