Prepare to laugh at me...
 

So this is slightly embarrasing, but oh well. :) I honestly had no clue that the letters Sigma Alpha Iota STOOD for something until I was initiated! I don't know WHY I didn't know...but I didn't!

Anyone else do this too? Just curious. If not, then go ahead and laugh at me. Guess I was a little clueless. :D

most greek letters stand for something, IIRC.

alpha-first
beta-second
delta-change (this is the only one imsure of)
omega-last (ex. "the alpha and the omega")
phi- golden ratio (perfection maybe?)
pi-3.14158...
lambda-wavelength (like in chem and physics?)
iota-small amount (slang)
epsilon-small negligable quantity (mathematical def)
gamma- unit of magnetic field strength equal to one-hundred-thousandth of an oersted (chem)
omicorn- micro/small

as far as what they mean to the org, is entirely different.
im looking for a site that perhaps defines the letters, but that may unintentionally give GLO secrets away. maybe thats why i cant find it. but im interested as well.

I know that most Greek Letters have a meaning, but I doubt that it holds true in the meaning of the GLO each time.

One example would be that the letter Theta means death (which is why it was used on early ecology signs), but somehow, I doubt that GLOs that use Theta have death in their title!

At least, I hope not!

That would mean Delta Gamma means "change in the unit of magnetic field strenght equal to one-hundred-thousand of an oersted":rolleyes:

Not even close :D

Apparently Pi Beta Phi means 3.14158... Second the golden ratio :rolleyes:

sigma in math means sum

When I was in high school I didn't know that the letters stood for anything. When I started to do more GLO research I figured it out though.

Let's see...so APO is First Golden Ratio Last.

Again, not even close. :D

AGD=First unit of magnetic field change equals strength equal to one-hundred-thousandth of an oersted change....:eek:

Oh man, there are no meanings for Kappa or Psi. What a shame. :rolleyes:

Hahahaha...The engineer in me has to dispute this one. I have used every letter uppercase and lowercase at least once.

Kappa--Control coefficient
Psi--phase angle

So KLP is really:
Control Coefficient Wavelength Phase Angle!!!
Sorry, just couldn't hold my excitement in! I love how that just rolls right off the tongue! Thanx DeltaBetaBaby. I needed that. :)

So, Alpha Delta Pi would be First Change 3.14158... ?






And I have to admit, when I got the First & Change, my next thought was "panties?"

hope u guys arent taking this too seriously... ;)

a lot of those definitions are from dictionary.com, so dont take them to heart. of course i dont know what they mean, if they have meanings at all.

but i do know delta=change. and u cant take that from me!

seriously. only u know what ur letters stand for. you, and ur sisters/brothers of course.

p.s. if one of ur letters is phi..take pride! the golden ratio deterines what is most aesthetically pleasing. think about that when your checking ppl out at bars. the "hot" chicks/guys' faces and bodies are the ones who fit into the golden ratio.

yes it does. we are gamma omega like to be dorky and think delta delta delta has a special meaning only to us because we changed from tnkk to alpha theta phi to delt delta delta. so we changed 3 deltas....haha.

we really are dorks....well, some of us who find that amusing anyway.:p
