In my experience, "paraphernalia," "para" and "'nalia" are terms typically used by people in NPHC and NALFO orgs and others influenced by them. From those in NIC/NPC orgs and others influenced by them, I typically hear (as AlphaFrog says) "letters."

I started saying para cause one of my friends in Theta Phi Alpha was saying it.

I'm fairly sure that is something particular to her campus, and not a national TPA term.
