It's funny you mention TPA. A few months back, I let an intern use my office while I was out. When I returned, she said, "That's cool you are a Phi Mu" (I have plaques and an NPC poster up)--"I'm a Theta." I said, "Where were you a Kappa Alpha Theta?" She looked at me and said, "No. I'm a Theta Phi Alpha from XYZ University." I was perplexed because I've never heard anyone refer to TPA as Theta.
I discovered one of my coworkers is a Theta and it perplexed me that she kept referring it to Kappa Alpha Theta. I just wanted to stop her and say "It's okay. I know it's THETA!"

While members of my chapter always refer to ourselves as Theta Phi, the rest of the campus rarely calls us anything other than Theta.

It kind of reminds me of how I sometimes hear people call us "Phi Mu" or refer to us as "Phi Mus" if there's no Phi Mu chapter on campus. Ummmm . . . No.
(And we call ourselves "Sinfonians," not "Phi Mu Alphas," though I can see why others latch on to the Greek letters instead of the Sinfonia part of our name.)
