greek!

Since I've been in Berkeley, one thing I noticed I do on a daily basis (besides sleep waaay past 1am, apparently) is:

try to figure out all those Greek letters.


*Disclaimer: I don't know if we have Alpha Delta Pi at Berkeley. This is just a picture from Google Images to use as an example. I don't own it. Don't sue me! Okay, moving on..

Every single day I'll see people with frat/sorority sweatshirts on. Or they're carrying bags with their letters sewn on. So naturally, when I see them, I start trying to figure out what frat or sorority they're from. Basically, I lack the connection between the symbols and the words.

Characters that are easy for me:
- Delta (it's a triangle, no big. We also learn about it in history [Ancient Egypt, whatwhat?] and in debriefs [positives & CHANGES, not negatives haha])
- Alpha, Beta, Pi, Sigma (taking years of math pays off)

Ones I've recently programmed into my brain:
- Phi (lil circle with vertical line through it!)
- Tau, Epsilon, Chi, other pretty common ones.

Then the ones I'm workin on:
- Gamma (it just looks weird to me I guess)
- Omicron, Psi, and the rest of the obscure ones like Eta. or Upsilon.

Please don't judge me because I don't know my Greek letters. I'm in an Ancient Mediterranean Worlds history class.. I'm workin on it, kay? :)
