When fraternities and sororities were first formed, they often chose as their "letters" the first letters of a motto in Greek that they believed represented their values or goals. Sometimes these mottos are secret, sometimes they are not.
For example, one non-secret motto is the motto of ΘΧ (Theta Chi) is ΘHPÓΠOΣA XEÍP (Theroposa Cheir), which means "Helping Hand" in Greek.

I *think* they're Greek. I know, biblically, that Alpha = first and Omega = last...but I'm not honestly sure.
I wish I could help you more, but maybe google "sorority name meanings" and see what comes up.

They are just Greek letters. That is why the frats and sor are sometimes called Greeks.

to each organization the letters may mean something different. For many the meanings are sacred.
