This is slightly off topic from the OP, but I would second this, even though I am neither a fraternity man nor someone who has attended Auburn. Personally though, I absolutely HATE it when a non member calls my sorority "Tri Sig". You don't have to say my sorority's name that often, why are you shortening it like you are familiar with it? It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's Tri Sigma or simply, Sigma. That is also stated on our website. When in doubt, always use the full name until somebody tells you not to. The last thing you want to do is offend someone by calling their organization by a name they don't use or like. /end slightly off topic rant.
