zeta-edge
theta- this
iota-pie
kappa- kill
lambda- land
sigma- sit
chi- rich
those are waht i could remember but you catch my drift- one of my sisters still has her pledge book and is going to email the rest to me- so i'll give you guys a complete list of what i thought they meant anyway.... i know that in latin- nu sigma chi... is nike sun charity (but its not pronounced like that) and it means victory through loveliness.... (hence my quote)
but sairose- to answer your question- i had nooo clue what the greek alphabet meant or what most of them were except like delta in math class lol

WTF? Obviously those aren't real meanings, but they are what they stand for in math/engineering/etc. Your meanings are really random and seem more like a pronounciation key than anything.
