I know that in the late 1980's, there was a Greek store in Toronto. I think it was run by a Deke (I had the catalog - I think it was a mail order deal). I am pretty sure that it has gone bust now....if anyone wants the address, you will have to wait until I am next in Vancouver and can dig that information out.
Sistermadly, here is also another tip. If you are a "do-it-yourselfer", go downtown to a sewing store called DRESSEW. It's on Hastings, in a borderline creepy area, but in the daytime, it's okay.
If you go downstairs and head to the left wall, you will see all these different sew-on applique decorations and what not.
I have definitely seen the odd Greek Letter there...I bought a pink Delta letter with sequins on it and a yellow Gamma letter with sequins on it. I am still debating whether to make a totebag or what with them (they were about $2 each...so cheap). If you really look, I *KNOW* that I saw some Phi letters, there (maybe in silver and also blue) and I am sure that you can find Alpha letters too. If you are in luck, you might be able to find an Alpha and a Phi in the SAME COLOR!
Just a thought.
