For example, look at the name of television show GREEK, where the "E"s are Sigmas.

Maybe it bugs me because people refer to Alpha Xi Delta as AZD (in writing, they use a Z, because the English pronunciation of the letter Xi is pronounced "zee" when following a vowel. In Greek it's pronounced "ksi" as the "x" is pronounced in "box"). I usually write it out AXiD, but I have seen other members write out AXD.

Oh, I agree, I hate seeing sigmas used as e's (probably the most common Greek-for-English/Latin substitution). I like "HΦME" because it keeps the GLO's abbreviation intact.
