LOL. No, there isn't anyone is charge of that stuff. Typically, founders chose their letters (although members of some groups like Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu can tell you that this isn't always the case, since their letters as such came long after they were founded).

Usually, founders choose letters they like for whatever reason or they choose a two- or three-word name, motto or set of principles (usually but not always secret, traditionally but not necessarily in Greek) and then use the initials as their letters. The only real prohibition would be for letter combinations already in use.
