For example, in mines, we have a weird convention where the second class is actually alpha. We often say we started counting the classes at 0. The founding class was retroactively named digamma since it's an archaic Greek letter and looks like an F.

Interesting since it was the sixth letter in the alphabet.

The F stands for founders.

Full disclosure: I'm actually part of the digamma class and voted on it. It came from a snafu where we didn't see ourselves as a pledge class and therefore called the subsequent class alpha until it was too late to correct.

Good save.
