AOII chapters can pick their own chapter designation, so I'm guessing that's happened in their organization a couple of times.

Yep. My own chapter, Lambda Tau, started as a local, Phi Lambda Tau. I also know that Theta Beta at Towson was originally a local called TBG (Towson's Best Girls). I'm sure there are countless other examples.

My chapter started as a local called Alpha Pi. As we already had an Alpha Pi chapter, our founders flipped it to become the Pi Alpha chapter.

Interesting! I know that Pi Delta at Maryland was a local called Lambda Tau. They did not choose that name or it wouldn't have been available when Lambda Tau was chartered.
