Each new chapter can choose her own chapter name, as long as it hasn't already been used. My chapter is the 134th chapter of AOII and is named Pi Alpha. This is in honor of our prior local sorority, Alpha Pi. Our chapters at Western Kentucky and Indiana University are named in honor of alumnae who helped found each chapter. Our chapter at Kentucky is Kappa Omega (I think they're our 132nd chapter) for the "U"niversity of "K"entucky. Same for our chapter at Eastern Kentucky University, Epsilon Omega! We have an Omega chapter, at Miami (OH.)

And to add to the 'confusion,' just look at the chapters in Tennessee. They all contain Omicron (UTK = Omicron; MTSU = Rho Omicron, etc). The names can also be chosen as the abbreviation of the chapter's sub-motto in either English or Greek. I think it's rather cool to do it this way because it makes the chapter even more special (not only the motto of AOII to hold special and live by but also the chapter. . .)
