Where did the name FIJI come from?
Fiji, a nickname started at New York University, was officially adopted by the national fraternity in 1894 in the belief that the term would be distinctive and appeal to the imagination. Prior to its formal appropriation by the organization at large, nicknames for members of the fraternity varied greatly; ranging from “Phi Gamm” and “Delta Association” by brothers across the nation, “Fee Gee” in New York, and “Gammas” in the South.
