Tri Delta VS Tri-Delt

[richi]

Tri Delt is considered slang in my chapter we also dont use the word Delt because that is the Delta Tau Delta nickname. Tri Delta is the correct nickname and yes there is no "-" also we may use Deltas but only in our house because we dont want to offend the wonderful ladies of Delta Sigma Theta who are nationally known as Deltas.

The girls at my school said they prefer "Tri Delta" because it's "Delta Delta Delta" and not "Delt Delt Delt"

I agree DrPhil, on our campus we have people call us Tri Deltas & Deltas & you can tell when someone is referring to Tri Delta & Delta Sigma Theta.

My NME made it very clear to me to never use Tri Delt, Tri-Delt or Tri-Delta in writing. She said that we should use Tri Delta or Delta Delta Delta.

Also, a hyphen should never be used because it suggests a separation between the 'tri' and the 'delta'.

Just her two cents!
