^^^That is great feedback from Senusret. I agree that highlighting that it's a "weird" name may not come off positively with many people (especially those with no knowledge of the greek system), but I also think that saying you're the group without greek letters might also be confusing; some may think it's not a "real" fraternity then.

Here's some verbiage from Wiki about Acacia, I also googled and found some press releases about your being voted on to campus that had some good verbiage. How about incorporating some of this into your introduction?:

Quote:
Acacia distinguishes itself from other fraternities by being one of three (inter)national fraternities that uses a word instead of Greek letters; Acacia is the only (inter)national fraternity to have a Greek word rather than Greek letters as its name. Greek does not contain the letter "c"; however, so the proper Greek spelling of the name is Ακακια. Acacia was one of the charter members of the North-American Interfraternity Conference in 1909. Acacia's fundamental principles are scholarship, leadership, brotherhood and human service/philanthropy.
