When I was at LSU, Southeastern was SLU. Where did the SELU come from?

Because SLU is Saint Louis University, and Southeastern wants to create their own image. Trying to be their own identity, opposite of ULL, who is trying to be something they are not.

I think the domain name had something to do with it. SLU dot edu was taken by Saint Louis U. Southeastern dot edu was taken by a university in DC. So, someone made the decision to go with SELU dot edu.
The university in DC shut down, so Southeastern now has that address and is shifting away from selu dot edu.

SLU is Saint Louis University, and they are a much more nationally-known school.

Directly from the Southeastern website:

For many years Southeastern was known throughout the state and region as SLU. However, in 1994 when the university was entering the online realm, the domain name slu.edu was already reserved by St. Louis University. Another private educational institution had already acquired the southeastern.edu domain name, and as a result, selu.edu was registered by our institution instead.
Following a great deal of market research, in 1994, our university established formal identity standards that sought to identify the university in print and other communications as "Southeastern." With the historical "SLU," online domain name "SELU," and official "Southeastern," much confusion has ensued with regard to our university identity.

Southeastern Louisiana University.
SE is the abbreviation for southeast.
Therefore, you have SELU.

It's SLU. The selu is only because some other school grabbed the domain Slu.edu before southeastern. Lion up!

I grew up in Hammond, graduated from LSU. I will never refer to it as SELU.
It is SLU and it is not even remotely debatable.

It was SLU when I first went and morphed into SELU by the time I graduated. I think the preferred term is SELU, but realistically, who gives a shite?

SLU grad, 1984. Wore Tiger gear along with many others.
