Zeta Eta of Delta Omicron The Ames Library Illinois Wesleyan University The Zeta Eta Chapter of Delta Omicron Illinois Wesleyan University Tate Archives and Special Collections June 2015 Zeta Eta of Delta Omicron The Ames Library Illinois Wesleyan University History: Delta Omicron, International Music Fraternity, is a professional fraternity in the field of music with collegiate chapters established throughout the United States and abroad. The fraternity was founded in 1909 at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music by three undergraduate students. The Founders were Hazel Wilson, Lorena Creamer, and Mable Dunn. Delta Omicron is the only organization of its kind founded by students for students. From 1909 to the present, twenty-six Delta Omicron national presidents have guided the fraternity to achieve and fulfill its purposes and objectives. (Delta- Omicron.org). The Zeta Eta chapter of Delta Omicron was established by alumni from Illinois Wesleyan University (student chapter being Sigma) and grew to include Delta Omicron graduates from Illinois State University (Omicron Omega student chapter) and the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. The Bloomington Alumnae chapter had been established in the 1930s; and Alumnae chapters adopted Greek names (distinguished from student chapters with the first letter Zeta), in 1944. (The Wheel).

In Flanders Fields”
John McCrae and his masterwork, “In Flanders Fields” By Jeff Ball, Theta Xi '79 Prominently featured in Zeta Psi's Pledge manual is a grainy picture of a rather serious-looking fellow with a penetrating gaze. It is the same picture that hangs in the front hall of the Theta Xi chapter of Zeta Psi in Toronto, where it is flanked by 2 bronze plaques, bearing the names of the 25 Theta Xis who died in the Two World Wars. Why is this picture of Dr. John McCrae, Theta Xi, 1894, given such prominence in our fraternity's pledge manual and in Theta Xi's hall of honour? The simple answer is "He wrote a poem: 'In Flanders' Fields'" - but there is more to it than that. In the pages that follow, I hope to illuminate for those interested in the history of our fraternity something of the character of John McCrae and to suggest why this poem is relevant to us today. For the Zete chapters in Toronto and Montreal particularly, the First War was a turning point in our fraternity's history. Zeta Psi had been at the top of the fraternity world at both campuses since Theta Xi's historic founding in 1879 and Alpha Psi's establishment in 1883. We had weathered strong opposition.from establishment and radical alike, but we had thrived and grown and led the fraternity movements at Toronto and McGill through the turn of the century into the oughts and the teens. The First War posed a major threat to our success.

Chancellor The Chancellor shall preside at all Chapter meetings and shall be responsible for the general management of Chapter affairs. Censor The Censor shall perform the duties and functions of the Chancellor in said officer’s absence, shall be responsible for censoring or disciplining any Chapter member for conduct inconsistent with the governing documents, policies, or resolutions of both the Fraternity and the Chapter, and shall be responsible for recognizing the achievements and meritorious actions of Chapter members.

Keyboard Map of Spionic, a Public Domain Greek Font
Keyboard Map of SPIonic, a public domain Greek font Description: SPIonic exists in both Macintosh and Windows versions, both with the same character and keyboard maps. By des- ign, all characters in the font lie between decimal 32 and 127 (20x-7Fx, 040-0177), so they should transfer without problem over the Internet. The font is designed to follow the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae encoding scheme (see http://purl.org/TC/TC-trans- lit.html#Greek) to as great an extent as possible, with a few exceptions. The most important exception is that upper- and lowerca- se letters have separate code points, unlike the TLG standard which requires an asterisk to indicate an uppercase letter (however, the asterisk is also part of the font). A second major variation is that breathing marks, accents, and other diacriticals exist in two forms: one for use with narrow characters and one for use with wide characters. The uppercase letters are listed first in alphabetical order, followed by lowercase letters, then breathing mark and accent combina- tions, and then by other symbols. Please note the distinction between upper and lower case in "key to push"; all shifted keys are so indicated. Also, note that diacriticals that are designed for narrow characters are generally unshifted, whereas the correspon- ding diacriticals for wide characters are shifted (the standalone dieresis, following TLG, is the exception). Standalone vowels e.g., before an uppercase letter at the beginning of a word) may be simulated by typing a non-breaking space (7) followed by the nar- row breathing mark/accent combination.

English Words from Greek Letters
254 ENGLISH WORDS FROM GREEK LETTERS DARRYL FRANCIS Sutton, Surrey, England [email protected]. uk Riddle: What common six-letter English word can be spelled using two Greek letters? Answer: AUTHOR, because it 's made up from TAU and RHO. For some time I've been bemused by the word UNIX , the name of a computer operating m. because it can be spelled out from the names of two letters of the Greek alphabet. I and . Additionally the two letters are simply spelled in order backwards. This set me thinking about what other words might exist whose letters could be used to spell out the name of two or more Greek letters. And wou ld any of them display their Greek letters in order or re erse order? The 24 letters of the modem Greek alphabet are alpha, beta gamma, delta, ep ilon z ta, ela. theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi , rho sigma, tau, up ilon, phi, hi, p i and omega. Additionally, there are 6 letters that appear in earlier version of the Greek alpha t: digamma, episemon, koppa, sampi, san and vau. These 30 letter can be combined in 450 \\8} . 1 have managed to find real words for exactly one-sixth, or 75, of them. In the Ii t b 10\ ,w rd n I in Webster's Third New International are labeled, and the> ymbol indicates that th nanl f the Greek letters are spelled out forwards « symbol, spell ed out backward ). alpha, nu = pulahan kappa, nu = paukpan beta, chi = Thebaic lambda, nu = labdanum beta, mu = beatum (OED nil admirari) lambda, rho = rhabdomal beta, nu = butane mu, mu = mumu beta, omicron = embrocation mu, nu = unum< II"IED unum r.

Wenham advises that zeta should be pronounced “dz” except when it begins a word (Mounce, Basics, 8). 5 Iota can be long or short, depending on the word. 6 Some pronounce omicron long, just as they would omega. It is uncertain whether or not Koine Greek maintained a consistent distinction. Many today prefer always to pronounce omicron short and omega long. 7 Sigma takes this form when it is the last letter in a word (final form).

The Greek Alphabet
The Greek Alphabet athematics requires a large number of symbols to stand for abstract objects, such as numbers, sets,functions, and spaces, so the use of Greek letters was introduced long ago to provide a collection of useful symbols to supplement the usual Roman letters. To us these symbols may seem quite foreign, and they are difficult to become familiar with. However, at the time they were introduced, most scholars had been taught at least some Latin and Greek during their education, so the letters did not seem nearly so strange to them as they do to us. Since then, each new generation of mathematicians has just gotten used to using them. The table below lists all of the letters in the Greek alphabet, upper-case and lower-case, with their names and pronunciations. The lower-case letters are used more often than the upper-case letters, but the latter are used often enough. The lower-case letters are most often used for variables, such as angles and complex numbers, and for functions and formulas, while the upper-case letters more commonly stand for sets and spaces, and sometimes for repeated arithmetic operations such as adding and multiplying (see Sigma and Pi). In any particular textbook or paper, the way in which these symbols should be interpreted should generally be clear from the context and definitions. The pronunciations provided are not necessarily the “correct” ones, but reflect the most common pronunciations in use in English speaking countries. CAP / lower Name & Description ALPHA (AL-fuh) First letter of the Greek alphabet.
