Right, which like with anything GLO-related, makes it a challenge to give a descriptor that is all encompassing. As a general though not universal rule, the letters tend to stand for something secret, though there may also be historical or non-secret meanings attached to the letters as well.
And there are totally non-secret groups. Delta Upsilon, for example, has an open ritual and makes no secret that its motto is
Δικαια Υποθηκη (
Dikaia Upotheke), which means "Justice, Our Foundation."
