Some of the others:
Mu was also named in honor of Marion, who was National Treasurer at the time.
Epsilon Omega was "named for Edith Orilla KNown, the Naitonal Chapterian who worked with the chapter at the University of Kentucky in securing its charter"
It also said that in the early years, groups were allowed to choose their own name, so that may explain why it was not in order.

Wow! Thanks so much for the info, ta kala. I've been wondering about the double letter sigmas for so long. What a relief to finally have the answer.
