Yes, but naraht's question is not referring to the theta, but rather the eta/epsilon disparity. I am not certain, but I had always been under the impression at eta makes a "ey" sound where epsilon makes an "ee" sound. However the pronunciation of theta in English is certainly different than in Greek, so that may be reflected by the different spellings.

That being said, the Deltas, or any organization, can spell the letters of their organization any way they want.
