Sharing your name

There is a fraternity that has been around since 1924 called FGP as well. I am in the midst of contacting them and informing them about my sorority.

christinasmile: to my knowledge, there are very few organizations that use the four-letter scheme. You should be good to go there, and good luck!

We actually ran into this with Epsilon Tau Pi. Initially, we used Epsilon Alpha Phi as our name, and everyone seemed cool with it. Over the summer before our first rush, however, a friend of mine went to florida and found a Jewish Sorority using the name. Since we wanted to go national and needed trademarks and copyrights and such, we opted for the new name. It still ends up shortened to "EatPI", but hey - it's ours.

That's the only problem I can think of with shared names, if one group goes national.

We're the Alpha Rho Omega sorority, and a few years back, we discovered a fraternity at John Carrol (sp?) with our letters. However, they recently went national, so now I think we're the only ones )

Hi! I am new to GreekChat.com. My name is Emily and i'm in a local at Kean University in NJ.


I know that there are alot of Sigma Beta Chi Fraternities around the US. There is one in Texas, Florida, New York and I think Minnesota. Yet there is only 1 sorority, in Union, NJ. IF anyone has seen a Sigma Beta Chi Sorority, please notify me! I'd love to chat with them.

We share "Phi Chi" with a local fraternity, I believe it's located on the west coast somewhere...

We're Omega Sigma Alpha...I don't think anyone else has our name.

There is another Kappa Chi Alpha @ Baylor in Texas. I know that one of our older sisters tried to contact them a while ago, but i dont think it was successful.

I meant to tell you this earlier, but there is also a local fraternity at Ohio State University who shares your name!

There's also a national medical fraternity that shares our name...

I'm in a local sorority, Tau Delta, at Otterbein College. people always ask about my lavalier or my letters... "are you missing a delta?"..."Excuse me?" ...."are you dating a DTD?" ...umm...no...these are MY letters! We are in NO WAY affliliated with Delta Tau Delta.

There is a local fraternity on campus, Pi Kappa Phi, that shares its name with a national fraternity, but I do believe ours was founded first.

We also have another local fraternity, Sigma Delta Phi (Sphinx) that is apparently a sorority in California?

There are about 4 Chi Deltas that I know about. There is the CSU Sacramento one (mine) with the beta chapter in Sonoma. There is also one in ArK, but they don't call themselves a sorority... they are a social club. I have contacted them and they responded. There is also one in Nebraska... I think. I am sure there are others out there too.

In addition to this... there was a fraternity that contacted us at one point... I think from the South... they shared our name.

jen...

Did your group originally start as "little sisters" to Delta Chi Fraternity? (I can't remember if you told us or not...) Way back when I was a collegian I remember a group of Delta Chi little sisters that broke away and called themselves "Chi Delphia" (when auxillary orgs were disbanded I think) and eventually became a chapter of an NPC group (either that or they folded...but I think they went the NPC route).

That was at Livingston State University (now the University of West Alabama)....I remember seeing some of their composits in the Delta Chi house back in 1993....

Just curious!!!

I'm a member of Kappa Delta Chi at Cornell College, which was founded in 1957, and now, there is a latino sorority in texas, and some of the southwestern states that was founded in 1991. I think they're NPC, but I'm not sure...
