Yes. The letters expand to that phrase. The theta and nu were switched "for an added layer of secrecy" and it translates (in English) to "Through God we conquer." It would be about infinitely times cooler if we were originally a TKN chapter, but I like it and its consistent with the meaning behind the book.

We aren't a very traditional greek system. Hell our Zeta is approx. 45 members and we're the largest GLO on campus. :P

I, too, have heard of "double-lettering," but we treated it as more of a tact thing rather than a "thou shalt not" kind of deal. Plus, would this even apply to tattoos (I mean, unless you're tattooing your forehead or something blantantly tactless like that)?

I met a lady who had a Yellow Rose Tattooed on her hip. I asked her to show me!

She did and I bent to kiss it!

Later, I once again saw it and once again kissed it and then, well use your imagination!

Told her it would be nice if she had a white Rose placed next to it!

Greetings,

I wonder if you are supposed to put a copyright or trademark symbol by your tattoo? Or, does the tattoo artist have to pay a royalty to IHQ?

Yours in ZAX,
