Delta isn't an official greek letter?

I'm sure it's not a coincidence. That said, Adelphian was once a fairly common name for college literary societies and similar organizations.

Again, though, I don't think this is a coincidence at all, and I can completely understand the feelings of the ADPis here.

I meant NEW isn't a greek letter and they still use an n in their wooden letters making it seem as if it was NU DELTA rather than NEW DELTA

Right, so there's a rule that states they can use "Delta" but it has to be "New" instead of "Nu?" Is that a rule regarding the number of Greek letters in a name or is there already a Nu Delta?

Please answer..since you know so much...as a nonmember.

I'm kind of waiting for the post by a member saying their roommate did it or something along those lines.

I actually have no idea why they have to use new but when i went thru recruitment that was a huge no for me, it seems fake. I always thought maybe they messed up and kept it as a joke or that maybe there is a rule somewhere but i don't know.

Sorry, that's kind of a GC joke (we seriously need a GC wiki to explain stuff sometimes). Someone posts things that are not well received, and then BAM someone else says that their account was taken over, they had no idea, and that their roommate did it because they forgot to log out of GC. I am not a member of Alpha Delta Pi, so I don't have a lion in this fight, so the reasoning behind the "borrowing" isn't as important to me. I just think it needs to stop regardless of the group, even if the roommate did it.
