Once all the letters are used, like any good cryptograph, the next round begins with double letters. So a single letter chapter is usually pretty darn old and well-established.

Did I remember that right?
For the most part - AOII does something completely different, and Pi Phi uses a system that combines the state with the alphabet - Texas Alpha, Texas Beta, etc., for example. But yes, many NPC groups use a sequential Greek alphabet system.
