*It is not. The "Viking Chapters" are those which use the Viking Symbology. The only time I have seen Viking used as a symbol at a non-HBCU is at Austin Peay State University, where most of the chapter was African-American. I have talked to brothers at Delta (Auburn), Nu Mu (U of MN - Duluth), and Pi Chi (Duquesne) and none of them use the term Viking. | |||
There is no mention of the word "Viking" in the entire xinuapo.org website. If they don't use it, why should others refer to them that way? | |||
