GLO Nickname as Single Letter?

[SWTXBelle]

I've always been a bit surprised that we are always "Gamma Phi" and never "Gamma", given that we are the only NPC with gamma as our first letter.

Lambda is used at my daughter's school.

Me, too.

The only nickname I have not heard used, out of those listed, is Delta for Delta Delta Delta.

At my undergrad campus we called them the Gamma's, never Gamma Phi.

Alpha Sigma Tau has a few campuses where they are just called Tau's, but I would say its only 3-4 of the close to 90 chapters.

Does your Illinois State University chapter use the Gamma nickname since Gamma Phi Circus is also at ISU? Or do students use the word Circus before saying Gamma Phi to distinguish between the groups?

To the best of my knowledge, no chapters use "Gamma" as a nickname - others on campus may, but our IHQ discourages anything but "Gamma Phi".
