Incorporating Greek Letters into words? Help please?

[allsmiles3]

Hey everybody! There's bound to be some creative people out there. Im in a sorority, Theta Alpha. And the PR Committee needs help thinking of way to incorporate our letters into words for cute shirts and crafts. Any ideas? Thanks!

The issue here is that Theta LOOKS like an "O"...but it's not. Kinda like "Greek" spelled with Sigmas instead "E" is really GRSSK.

You could do something like "We're in this BOAT together, we'll weather any storm" (with BOAT using Theta Alpha), but then it's really "BThat". It bothers some people, some people think it's cute. Is cuteness worth irritating possible PNMs?

Most of the cutesy sayings with Greek letters incorporated use what the letter LOOKS like, not what the letter sounds like/really represents. I know when DG is used, the Delta is often used where an "A" would be because they both look like triangles and the Gamma is usually an "r" -- like these:







For Theta Alpha, I'd use an "O" for Theta, and an "A" for Alpha - despite them not quite having the same sound, etc.

And that's what looks cute to some and stupid to others.

I'll admit that I fall in the camp of thinking it looks stupid and potentially disrespectful. Others may disagree, of course.

Despite the fact that I am more in the "annoyed when people use Sigmas as Es" camp, I did think about ideas for the OP's question.
