There is a web site that I trip over from time to time while searching for technical information. (It's a pay site, so I don't use it - you can always find the same information for free somewhere.) Their URL is www.experts-exchange.com. When they originally picked their domain name, there was no hyphen in it . . . www.expertsexchange.com

I've never really had any such problems with my letters per se, but you have no idea how many people can't tell the difference between Alpha Epsilon Phi and Alpha Epsilon Pi.

I was looking for a gym bag for my husband the other day and went onto the Dick's Sporting Goods site... which, suffice it to say isn't dicks.com.

And I made this mistake at the office. Whoops.

I actually love that our letters look like EAT. Some of my favorite plays off of that:

Bow in the presence of grEATness
EAT our dust > perfect for Greek Week

On the other hand, we have the unfortunate acronym of SDT, which invariably gets mixed up with STD at some point.

Wait. Didn't you go to an engineering school?

Indeed...

When AEPhi colonized, AEPi had been on campus for decades. I can't tell you how many times I was around campus wearing letters and people approached me asking when AEPi had gone coed.

I'm in Triangle, and you'd think that the distinct "Delta-T" crest wouldn't bring any trouble. But, I get this a lot:

"Hey, so you're a tri-delt?"
"What's that tri-delt?"

* facepalm *

My canned response is: "... don't think I'm hot enough"

I can't imagine what actual Tri-Delts go thru. "Hey, why do you have three Triangles on your shirt?"

First time I saw it was at UIFI and I thought it was Delta Tau. I'd heard of Triangle but never saw how they represented their name so I'd always assumed it was just written out.
