Nicknames

• An initialism based on the letters, either in Greek form or their Anglicized equivalent. Examples include Alpha Epsilon Pi as "A-E-Pi," Gamma Phi Beta as "G-Phi-B", Delta Upsilon as "D-U,", Kappa Alpha Order as "KA", or Kappa Delta Rho as "KDR".
• An invented word based on the letters, such as "Teke" from Tau Kappa Epsilon, "Pike" or "Pikes" from Pi Kappa Alpha, "Fiji" from Phi Gamma Delta, or "Sammy" from Sigma Alpha Mu.
• To shorten the names of the letters themselves, for example Psi Upsilon as "Psi U", Pi Kappa Phi as "Pi Kapp", Phi Kappa Theta as "Phi Kap", Sigma Phi Epsilon as "SigEp", "Tri Delts" for Delta Delta Delta, or Phi Delta Theta as "Phi Delt".
• To eliminate letters: Pi Beta Phi as "Pi Phi" or Phi Kappa Tau as "Phi Tau".
• To use the dominant letter in the organization name, for example "Betas" for Beta Theta Pi, "Kappas" for Kappa Kappa Gamma, "Delts" for Delta Tau Delta, "Zeta" for Zeta Tau Alpha, or "Thetas" for Kappa Alpha Theta.
• For non-Greek lettered organizations, the use of an abbreviated word or phrase. For example, members of the "Franklin Society" can be nicknamed "Franklins."
