How did your GLO select its Greek letters?

[ADPi-EE]

This is kind of a random question but I've always been curious. I'd like to know the origin of how all the GLO's chose their greek letters. I realize this is secret for some groups, but if not, I'd love to hear. Also, what is the origin of the name of your national magazine? We all have such a rich history and I love learning all the symbolism.

Here is the story of ADPi:
We were originally named The Adelphean Society when we were founded at Wesleyan Female College (Georgia) in 1851. The word "Adelphean" is derived from the Greek word meaning sister. In 1904 we voted to become national and in 1905 we changed our name to Alpha Delta Phi (because it closley resembled the word "Adelphean"). In 1913 it was changed to Alpha Delta Pi because of the confusion with a mens' fraternity of the same name.

Our magazine is "The Adelphean" after our original name.

In 1852, Phi Mu, also founded at Wesleyan Female college was originally called The Philomathian (sp?). I assume they chose "Phi Mu" because of the resemblance to Philo-Mathian.

I look forward to hearing y'all's histories!
