Comparison of names to old NPHC.
For a comparison of what some other groups have done (and showing that "Ferns" (as one person suggested) isn't *that* strange)...
Back in the 1970s, for the NPHC, their pledge classes were actually separate clubs (not that sure of why). Because of this, there were fairly standard terms for the pledges. For example, for Alpha Phi Alpha, the pledge club was the Sphinx Club, so pledges were sometimes referred to as Sphinxes.
For the other 8
Alpha Kappa Alpha - Ivy Leaf Club
Phi Beta Sigma - Crescent Club
Zeta Phi Beta - Archonian Club
Omega Psi Phi - Lampados Club
Delta Sigma Theta - Pyramid Club
Kappa Alpha Psi - Scrollers Club
Sigma Gamma Rho - Aurora Club
Iota Phi Theta - Centaur Club
(Other smaller Historically black fraternities, another other fraternities adopting terminology on HBCUs also had clubs.
