I think that usually refers to the men's NPHC fraternity "Alpha Phi Alpha", a BGLO.

Thanks for the info but this was a girl in 10th grade - said "Alphas" were the biggest sorority in the United States. She got her info from someone at Cornell. I did not say a word ... just listened to her. Hey- she might of been in 90210 land with the Alpha Omegas- who knows!!!! Sue

Alpha Sigma Alpha - ASA or when it's on jackets & stuff, Alpha Sigs.

Like AOTLALA said, there are too darned many national sororities (I count 10 of 'em) starting with Alpha for any one to call themselves that.

This leads into another question I had. I was listening to an old tape the other day and the 2 Live Crew song "Fraternity Record" was on it. At one point, it sounds like they say, "[Bleep] the prallay." I have never been able to figure out what they're saying, does anyone have a clue?

[Liv4ChiO]

I'm in Chi Omega, and we're the Chi Os or XO

I asked some FIJI's where I went to school and they explained it to me as something like this.
Their full name is: Phi Gamma Delta.
First of all, their "nickname" is Fiji, because "Phi" in Greek is pronounced "Fee", and then they take the "G" from "Gamma", so
"Fee-G" or "Fiji".
Secondly, they told me that since they hold their letters in such high regard (or something like that), that the actual Greek letters only appear on the physical house, or on their badges (i.e. "pins").

Things like sweatshirts, will be written "FIJI". Hope that cleared it up!!

I thought it was "Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."?
