My fraternity is a small exception. We are named "Kristall" (crystal) to honor Professor Hermann Borchert who taught mineralogy when we were founded in 1949. Our full name is "Akademische Vereinigung Kristall zu Clausthal im Schwarzburgbund"
Thank you for your answers,

The Greek letters of our organizations have secret meanings. They are part of our rituals. In some cases they were chosen because they looked good together, but they still have very important meanings to the members that wear the letters.
