* Alpha Delta Kappa has one other chapter at Dallas Baptist University.
** KKY and TBS are both coed fraternities nationally.
When a university has a chapter of each, KKY functions as a fraternity and TBS functions as a sororoty.
When a university has only one, that local chapter functions as a coed fraternity.
Thus, KKY has women and TBS has men at their national conventions.
Allegedly, TBS stands for The Band Sorority. KKY
has a meaning, but the members won't say it. All that I have been able to determine is that the Psi
(Y) symbolizes (in part) a music stand.
Also, KKY has inscribed on their crest: "Alpha Epsilon Alpha."
This also has some dark and secret meaning that they will not reveal.

The light bulbs in the New York City subways are grooved the opposite of standard light bulbs.
That way, even if someone steals them, the bulbs are unusable.
When they switched from standard light bulbs to the modified ones,
light bulb theft dropped dramatically, but did not cease.
