"Male" & "Female" letters
Sexy letters, popular letters, I always noticed there seemed to be letters ore fraternities used than sororities, and vice versa.
Boy letters:
Sigma
Psi
Upsilon
Tau
Girl Letters:
Alpha
DELTA!
Kappa
Gamma
Phi
Zeta
anyone else think so?

Pi is most definitely a female one. If you don't think so, you need a crash course in anatomy.

Yeah, wow. Too much time. Then again I can get going on here, and on Facebook and an hour has passed when I just wanted to check messages or check for any new posts . . .
Anyhow, one thing to remember when talking about Greek letters and sororities and fraternities- Many of the sororities are actually women's fraternities. So, does that have anything to say about female and male?
 Just something to think about!
I agree with wptw:
"Sororities and fraternities tend to emphasize slightly different things as ideals. Different ideals and different greek mottoes = different greek letters. Simple."

What on earth would that say about female and male? Are you suggesting that women's fraternities are more masculine than sororities? That's about all I can conclude from your statement anyway...

This could probably go in Chit-Chat...if it needs to be discussed at all.

This actually has some merit. Anyone read the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story "The Ice Palace"? One of the characters believed that everyone could be placed in one of two categories: "feline" or "canine" based on their looks and the way they moved. So I guess if people can be feline or canine, greek letters can be male or female.

It's really not that weird. Considering that most modern languages assign gender to nouns this shouldn't be that weird. Really English is weird in that most items are gender neutral when talked about.

It seems like few of the sororities have Pi in them
Pi Beta Phi
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Omicron Pi
And the sorority from the movie "Revenge of the Nerds"

Don't forget the fraternities:
Beta Theta Pi and
Sigma Pi
What sorority was in "Revenge of the Nerds"? I can only think of Omega Mu.

The sorority full of obnoxious blonde Barbie dolls was the "pi" sorority from Revenge of the Nerds. Can't recall the letters, though.
