you know, thats not a bad idea...
We name our undergraduate chapters in the traditional Alpha-Psi, then Alpha Alpha through Alpha Psi,then Beta Alpha, and so forth. Sigma is skipped over as the second letter (see below why). i want to say we are up to Rho Kappa. My UG chapter is Alpha Pi (so yes, i can understand the "old chapter designation" thing since my chapter is old-ish. i have a soror friend from Gamma chapter and im like niiiiiiice. some folks are VERY proud about their "single letter status")
our graduate chapters end in Sigma, ie. Alpha Sigma, Beta Sigma, Gamma Sigma, etc. my alum chapter is Eta Nu Sigma
Like many other organizations, Omega is reserved for deceased members. Ours is the Omega Rho chapter.
