Iota Alpha Pi was a national sorority. It was once a member of the National Panhellenic Conference. Iota Alpha Pi is significant b/c many of its members are searching for information. It is the first national Jewish sorority. (Marniem8437 (talk) 13:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC))
Why is this tagged as patent nonsense? Is it the use of so many Greek characters? Those are names of sororities and chapters, not gibberish! 65.126.19.22 (talk) 20:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- Iota Alpha Pi struck me as close to certain greek letter puns (it looks like Lota alpha Pi which isn't far from Iota Eta Pi or something straight up humorous), I couldn't find anything on the internet about the sorority (although I didn't search aggresively) and there were the original initials of the sorority which really threw me and the article was contributed in whole by a new editor. I reached a mistaken conclusion and I apologize for any distress I caused.
- I have now added a referenced mention of the initials being controversial (in retrospect I suppose, and perhaps even a source of the slur itself). So hopefully no one else will be confused as I was. Sorry about that. Thanks for contributing an interesting article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Appears to be a genuine sorority
Or else a very widespread hoax. [1], for example, backs up the description given in this article. [2] seems to show that people are researching and looking for members. keɪɑtɪk flʌfi (talk) 20:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
