The six non spangram words form phrases in pairs, but it's a crap clue.

Took me ages to get started, and had to use hints, which I try not to do. Heaven knows what the subject had to do with the spangram - obviously too American for me.

I felt a wave of despair at first, but realised it was straightforward once you ignored the American nature of the clue.

Sororities, and fraternities are sort of odd student unions at US colleges and universities named with Greek letters. They appear a lot in films. I am, of course, a member of Delta Tau CHI.

Me too, so a bit of digging and there's an American kids clothing company of the same name that uses the phrase in its adverts.
