Epiphany: Alpha & Omega

I am the Alpha

    and the Omega. (Revelation 1:8)

Dear Priscilla,

So you joined a sorority, the Chi Omega—as in Ẋ Ὠ. How come sororities always have two Greek letters for their name? What do they stand for?  Christians have two Greek Letters to their name also: Chi Rho as in Ẋ Ρ, the first two letters of the Greek word ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos). It is word so precious we dare not translated it into English. We keep the Greek title as is and say the Greek word, “Christ,” meaning the Anointed One. It forms one of the first symbols of the church (I think I managed to paste it below). 

Two other Greek letters come to mind: Ẩ Ὠ, as in Alpha and Omega; As in Jesus being our “Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Rv 21:13). Happy to hear you are excited about Chi Omega; but, trust you will always be even more excited about your Ẩ Ὠ.
