I could be wrong, but that's what I learned in 1964.
Any other origin stories?

It's never been explained outright, but it's just made sense to me:
Lambda Chi --> Lamb Chops --> Chops/Choppers. I don't know if Lamb Chops is demeaning, but just an extension. I myself have never heard it used.
I had never heard this used until I went on a cruise and was wearing letters and some guy came up to me and asked me if I was a "Chopper" too... I was taken aback a bit since I had never heard this used.
