That's funny -- Mr. HotDamn and I had this conversation a couple weeks ago. Or something like it.

I pointed out that a lot of boy GLOs have "Chi" in them. (Theta Delta Chi, Delta Chi, Theta Chi, Chi Phi, Sigma Chi, etc.)

A lot of girl GLOs have "Sigma" in them. (Tri Sig, Phi Sig, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Kappa, etc.)

My theory is that maybe the Chi has to do with brotherhood and the Sigmas to do with sisterhood. (Of course this is all moot between me and Mr. HotDamn, since between a Phi Mu and a Kappa Sigma we don't have any relevent letters.)

I also think Phi must be a common letter in the Greek alphabet (like our letter "e") or at least start off a couple common words, the kinds that would be in a GLO's secret motto. Like maybe "trust" or "faithful" or "love".

I've often wondered if letters in two different orgs. might mean the same thing. Especially with very different orgs.... like the kappa in AKL and Kappa Sigma and Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma. I can't imagine they do, but I wonder all the same.
