A personal pet peeve of mine is when people think Im in Alpha Omega Pi (thanks to the movie Pumpkin) or when they make the 'O' in Omicron a long sound,like Alpha Ohhh-micron Pi...uggghhh its "Ahhh-micron" LOL!
Oh and this is the only thing Ive seen our letters in:
N Aturally
S Ome
Le TTers
Stand
Out!

I did not know that! I had to look this up and was shocked that the primary pronunciation is Ahhh (but a second allows for Ohhhh).

Isn't this just a regional accent thing? My husbands cousin is an AOPi, and she says "OHmicron" not "AHmicron."
I love that Aplha Xi shirt... that's adorable!
The only thing I've seen like this for Theta before is " Kites Above Our (heart symbol)"

Welcome, Sister! Hope to see more of you around here - most of us don't bite.  There's a few "sticky" posts at the top, if you'd like to sign in. You might find someone from your own chapter!

Our Pledge Books (as opposed to our New Member Manuals) have two pronounciations for most of the Greek Alphabet. I guess when you go through 3-4 months of pledging, and not 6-8 weeks of being an Alpha, you have a LOT more to memorize!

When I was a Rho Chi, my PX partner was so frustrated and kept saying, "That's S-D-T, ladies, not STDs!!!"

I also love the Phi Mu "No Place like HFME". It doesn't look contrived. I keep trying to think of one for ADPi (pet peeve: people who say Ay Dee Pee), and have come up with mostly bad ones.
A
Damn
Pretty (Popular)
Sorority!
Or
A
Darling
Princess!
It's easier to do with the school's name, and maybe that would look better, too.

Speaking of being mispronounced my dad calls us I needa pee...or Ay Dee Pee....he does it just to irritate the mess out of me and cause he thinks he is funny. Can you tell he was sort of anti- Greek.
On another note I really can't think of anything out letters "fit" into. ANd honestly I don't like the way they look in words very much. The delta and pi look really out of place in those words. I definately think the pi works better as two tees in letters. As for the delta im clueless.

I wonder if it would work better if instead of using ADP you tried using A, D and PI? Not that I'm thinking of a good example this morning: A Diamond s PIrit.

LOL. I hereby propose that "gobbing"/"to gob," meaning to royally screw up recognition of Greek letters, become officially recognized as GC slang. Example, "That guy just asked if I was in Tri Epsilon/ROB/Alpha Epsilon Alpha/EAT . . . . He completely gobbed it!" (Or "what a gobber!")

The AOIIs here frequently write "M AS OΠ" on signs and banners.
A friend of mine is a DG at UD and she has a t-shirt that says "DELAW ΔΓE"

A recent pledge class in my chapter made t-shirts that said "WE MΔKE IT HAPPEN."
I thought it was a pretty clever use of their pledge class letters in the slogan.

One of my sisters started using "its Α LΔVE THIΠG" but we use it more for each other than recruitment
We were the founding sisters and were wicked obsessed with each other, so its more of a facebook thing, but we like it!
p.s. this is my first post

Welcome to G.C! That would actually work for my chapter too, instead of the delta replace it with Omicron lol. Don't worry I'm not going to steal your quote though. What chapter are you from?
