phi- golden ratio (perfection maybe?)
pi-3.14158...
lambda-wavelength (like in chem and physics?)
iota-small amount (slang)
epsilon-small negligable quantity (mathematical def)
gamma- unit of magnetic field strength equal to one-hundred-thousandth of an oersted (chem)
omicorn- micro/small

as far as what they mean to the org, is entirely different.
im looking for a site that perhaps defines the letters, but that may unintentionally give GLO secrets away. maybe thats why i cant find it. but im interested as well.
I know that most Greek Letters have a meaning, but I doubt that it holds true in the meaning of the GLO each time.

One example would be that the letter Theta means death (which is why it was used on early ecology signs), but somehow, I doubt that GLOs that use Theta have death in their title!

At least, I hope not!
