What is the nickname for Phi Gamma Delta?

• A. Fijis
• B. Gators
• C. Delts
• D. Sigs

Answer: (A)

Nicknames for Greek-letter groups usually come from shortening or sounding out the letters of the organization’s name. For Phi Gamma Delta, members commonly say “Fijis,” a playful phonetic rendering of the initials Phi-Gamma-Delta. This form has become the established shorthand used widely in conversation and campus references. Other options point to different groups or contexts. “Delts” is associated with Delta Tau Delta, “Sigs” with Sigma Chi (or Sig Eps in some contexts), and “Gators” is the nickname for the Florida Gators, not a fraternity. So the familiar and widely recognized label for Phi Gamma Delta is “Fijis.”
