I'll borrow from "wvucountryroads" but do it better:

Alpha - like "alphabet" (where do you think the word came from?)
Beta - Beta, zeta, eta and theta all rhyme.
Gamma - You know Pink Floyd's "Umma Gumma"? Think "Amma Gamma".
Delta - like a river delta
Epsilon - like "episode"
Zeta
Eta
Theta
Iota - like Star Wars' "yoda", but with a "t"
Kappa - "kappa kappa kappa kappa, kappa chameleon..."
Lambda - like "baaa!" with "duh"
Mu - like a kitten, "mew!"
Nu - what's nu with you?
Xi - like xylophone
Omicron - "O" like "O Canada", and micron like measurement
Pi - 3.1415926....
Rho - "rho, rho, rho your boat...."
Sigma - like enigma
Tau - like Tao Te Ching
Upsilon - "oopisdaisy...!"
Phi - hifi
Chi - like China
Psi - *sigh*
Omega - Don't you at least know this one?
