Chapters with the same name as the frat/sorority - Page 4

I am from the Delta Gamma chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma.... =) There's never really any confusion though because we don't have a DG chapter on our campus .

Funny thing is that the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at my school is Eta Omicron.... (HO chapter) Yeah... the brothers like play that up just a bit...

hehe, Im in the Theta Tau chapter of AXO... I never heard of the other groups...

my friends and I used to joke around that we'd create an "underground" sorority called Theta Tau of all disgrunted sisters of our chapter... but we never did.

Ah you beat me to it!

All of my AXO friends love the fact that they're the Alpha Chi chapter.

They all have this really cute lettered AX pin guard.

I've wondered that too... the UBC Delta Gamma chapter is called Alpha Phi, but I don't know any UBC DGs well enough to ask them if there has ever been any confusion. The chapters are so different though, I hardly think there would be.

Not only that, but at the UBC campus...
AGD is Delta Zeta chapter,
DPhiE is Delta Gamma chapter and yes,
DG is Alpha Phi chapter.

I don't think Chapter Designations come up much during the recruitment conversations, to be honest with you. Most girls are just trying to differentiate their Phis from their Pis.

Haha my friends and I used to joke around that we would do the same thing, but since we are the Chi chapter the most obvious name for our secret chapter of course is Tri Chi...XXX.

Needless to say that one never really got off the ground, but we use it a lot as the "rival" sorority now in serenades and such. We're dorks, what can I say?

Alpha Phi does not have an Alpha Phi chapter...after the Omega chapter (University of Texas) We went straight to Beta Alpha.

Our Delta Gamma chapter is at the University of Northern Colorado, Delta Zeta is at University of Maryland, Delta Chi is at William Woods University (Missouri), Delta Upsilon (our brother fraternity) is at Baldwin-Wallace College (Ohio), Delta Delta...not quite tri-Delt but almost...is at Oklahoma City University. We are only up to Iota Iota (I believe) in chapter names so obviously theres a lot of other GLO names missing (i.e. Sigma Kappa/Nu/Pi etc).

There's another thread about the phee/pheye debate:
Calling All Alpha Phis

And I swore i saw another thread about how everyone pronounces their own Alpha Phi chapters...but I couldn't find it through a search. *personally* I think it would be nice if people pronounced it phee just to honor our organization's name and correct pronunciation. But obviously I'm not going to tell anyone what to do

This reminds me of something that happened at my school... Many years ago, the Sigma Nu chapter at my school decided they wanted to go coed. Their national was not amused. So the chapter relinquished its charter and began to operate as a coed local fraternity called Epsilon Theta (which had been its Sigma Nu chapter designation).

In the mid 1990s, Sigma Nu recolonized. It soon became clear that they intended to restore the chapter's original designation of Epsilon Theta. Epsilon Theta, the local, tried to block it and force Sigma Nu to pick a new chapter designation. But Sigma Nu is just a little bigger than Epsilon Theta

and the chapter was rechartered with its original designation.

Rushees don't seem to get confused. One house has women who are members at their rush parties, the other has women who aren't.

But it'd be pretty confusing to be the Alpha PHEE chapter of Gamma PHEYE Beta or Pi Beta PHEYE.

Or Alpha Epsilon PHEYE

The Alpha Phis at my school used to sing a song that went "It's PHEE, not PHEYE" or something like that. I think they sang it just for our benefit

(j/k) (AEPhi was the only other sorority with a Phi in its name, though we had a bunch of fraternities - Phi Delta Theta, Pi Lambda Phi, Phi Beta Epsilon (local), etc - all of whom also pronounced it PHEYE.)

Oh darn it - I've turned this into a PHEE vs PHEYE debate

Delta Omicron has the following chapters:

Delta Gamma -- Univ. of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO (inactive)
Delta Omicron -- Michigan State Univ., East Lansing, MI (inactive)
Delta Upsilon -- Kent State Univ., Kent, OH
Delta Chi -- Univ. of Nebraska at Kearney, Kearney, NE

I don't know why we don't have a Delta Zeta chapter... it's not listed on the website even as inactive, but we certainly passed that in the order....

Edited: and special for Heather, Kath, etc:
Gamma Gamma -- Alverno College, Milwaukee, WI (inactive)

AUDeltaGam · #58 12-22-2003, 06:31 PM

I don't see whats confusing...I mean especially if its at a school where there is an Alpha Phi chapter. If a person has heard of Alpha Phi they know about the special pronunciation and the fact that it doesn't apply to any other group. Maybe on campuses that don't have Alpha Phi it would be kinda weird cuz people would be like "whats this 'phee' business" but...whatever.
