Wow! I didn't realize things were so different from GLO to GLO! We do it this way:
Alpha to Omega (I believe, anyway, I'm not looking at our book right now so I'm not positive we end with Omega)
Alpha Alpha to Alpha Omega
Beta Alpha to Beta Omega
Gamma Alpha to Gamma Omega
Delta Alpha to Delta Omega
Epsilon Alpha to Epsilon Omega
Zeta Alpha ------> you get the idea.
I think some people use Omega to signify when members die, but we call this Chapter Eternal.
I like the way we do it because it helps you know how old a chapter is. For instance, if they have a single letter name, they are very old chapters from the fraternity's beginnings. When a chapter name is Zeta, etc., you know that the chapter is relatively new, like from the 90's.
My boyfriend is a Sig Ep, and I think they do it this way (correct me if I'm wrong, all you Sig Eps out there):
They do it by state. The first chapter in a state gets Alpha. For example, Texas Alpha. The next chapter in that state gets Texas Beta. This goes on in every state, and I think there are not enough chapters in any of the states to warrant the use of two greek letters, but I could be wrong about that too.
