I like Delta Gamma, like when you shorten it to DG. I think it reminds me of DZ: Kids zone from when I was little...only now it's for big kids.

sounds like a fun thread...

all the D9 sororities have nice sounds, though i used to get tongue tied saying Alpha Kappa Alpha - dont worry, ive gotten it down.
i like Sigma Gamma Rho also b/c of the "rho"--never heard that letter used aside from "rho chi" (which i think is like your counselor during rush - oh, duh, Rush Counselor - RC? someone correct me otherwise)

Ive always been a math nerd so, Delta Sigma Theta sounds cool cause ive used all those symbols in classes.
and zeta phi beta cause it rhymes (and i have a few friends who are theta phi beta - a local on campus) and because its linked as zeta phi beta sigma, which is clever.

as for the guys, i like how a phi a sounds in abbrevation, and i like how phi beta sigma letters look and sound together.
and Iota Phi Theta because i dont recall any orgs that use iota for the first letter.

who else? phi iota alpha when its shortened to phiota. and theres a latina sorority - sigma lambda upsilon - i dont think lambda and upsilon get the attention they deserve!

these are ones ive liked for abbreviations and acronyms:
Kappa alpha theta (KAT)
Kappa Phi Lambda (KPL - kinda rolls, my old suitemate is one)
Delta phi eplison (deepher)
Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp-my old boss is sigep, sounds like its always used at a big 10 like, "kegger at the sigep house!")
and there's always TKE - ive never heard anyone say Tau Kappa Epsilon (not hat i think if it, is it "tau" or "theta"
and, Theta Nu Xi - ONE - pretty cool.
Kappa Kappa Gamma - something about the gamma letter that i like.
the only one i can think of from TV is from Legally Blonde (Delta Nu, which was changed from DG, right?) and from School Daze (the Gamma Rays and G phi G - what was the other group called-the dark skinned girls with the red and blue?)

okay ive said enough.

Kappa Kappa Gamma
Chi Omega

Beta Theta Pi - we used to drive by the Beta house at UT and sing "Beta Theta Pi, Beta Theta Pi" in a sing-song voice. It's just fun to say.

Names

I always that that the Dekes and the SAE's had the best nickmames.
I always thought that Pi Kappa Phi got slammed with the Pi Phi for boys nickname.
Kappa Alpha Theta is a cool name as well.

Iota Phi Theta - OF COURSE. I love the way it sounds no matter how we say it: IOTA, I-Phi-T, I Phi, I Phi Theta.

Our letters also look good. How many orgs. can combine their letters into one?



There are too many other organizations whose letters flow well together. I agree with all the ones named in the thread so far.

One non-greek letter fraternal org. that has a great name is Groove Phi Groove.

I'm sure that some of this comes from childhood:

Delta Delta Delta OR Tri-Delt
Kappa Kappa Gamma OR Kappa


Delta Tau Delta OR Delt
Pi Kappa Alpha OR Pika
