Any GLOs that spell out an English Word?

Has anyone ever seen any Greek Letter Organization where the Greek Letters actually spell out an english word?

Like Beta Iota Tau (BIT) or Eta Alpha Mu (HAM).

The closest I've seen is a local Tau Alpha Zeta (and yes it did use a Tasmanian Devil as its mascot).

I would totally pledge Tau Alpha Zeta for the cool mascot alone.

Several years ago, a poster came on here talking about her local sorority. Their name- honest to God- was Eta Omega Tau. HOT.

If I remember correctly, she came on to get advice because they were having trouble attracting new members.

I remember that one. Apparently it's here:http://www.angelfire.com/sc3/muomicronmu/ No idea if it's still active.

And there's an even newer MOM. It's an honorary: (scroll down)http://traditionalmidwife.com/tm.html

Oh, man. I remember that Mu Omicron Mu. The founder posted here. The kangaroo on the crest looked like it was about to take a dump.

I will always be disappointed that Kappa Alpha Theta doesn't have a cat as a mascot.

Note, I did find "Phi Alpha Gamma" with a Wikipedia page, but they merged into another fraternity in 1948.
