Well you might start with the thought that we are not trying to be "Greek" in the sense that we adopt Greek culture or Greek lanuguages--has anyone noticed that many of our mottos are written in Latin?
I believe our founders chose Greek letters for our names in deference to the ancient Greeks and their learning through discussion and debate. The ancient Greeks believed that "Debate, questioning and discussion were often used as a way to discover true knowledge and 'truth.'" Many of the early GLOs started as societies for members to come together to study and debate the issues of the times, and in the case of women's fraternities, to prepare for classes and just survive in a co-educational environment through mutual support.
Why does this person care?
