"Why would a sorority pick letters that look bad in English and Greek?"
"Why does your shirt say 'EAT'?"

1. It wasn't the first set of letters the found picked; it was changed
2. It's SDT, not STD.
3. They weren't called STDs back in the day, they were called VDs and probably other random names.
4. You can't tell the different between the letter A and a delta/triangle?

I get ERP all the time, or worse, ETP/pregnancy jokes. My brother thinks it's hilarious.

I'm guessing that Sigma Gamma Rho "looks like" ETP, which get flip flopped to EPT (Early Pregnancy Test), but I don't know...

I actually had a guy I went to high school with look at me and read my shirt as he said, "Eye-Owm, what is Eye-Owm?" He saw the "Phi" and thought it was an I and an O combined. It was weird he said that instead of recognizing it was a sorority. Generally you see images of Greeks in movies and I figured that he would have picked up on that. I guess not.
