It isn't really "reserved" as much as sort of obvious because of the identical shape. Alignments between English and Greek letters really depend on whether you are dealing with shape or pronounciation. Using O for Omega is just fine because an O standing by itself in english is pronounced the same was an Omega. The easiest way in english to get a pronounciation alignment for our Greek letters would be Ah F O since the Alpha is a short A...
As for when Omega Psi Phi started using Q, haven't gotten an answer for that...
