We go to the gezegde

 We go to the Greek alphabet.

 W (double U) has, of all the letters in our alphabet, the only cumbrous name, the names of the others being monosyllabic. This advantage of the Roman alphabet over the Grecian is the more valued after audibly spelling out some simple Greek word, like
_epixoriambikos_. Still, it is now thought by the learned that other agencies than the difference of the two alphabets may have been concerned in the decline of "the glory that was Greece" and the rise of "the grandeur that was Rome." There can be no doubt, however, that by simplifying the name of W (calling it "wow," for example) our civilization could be, if not promoted, at least better endured.

 I don't think we're going to get into the Greek alphabet this year. The good news is it's still 56 days before it starts. He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her. I don't think we're going to get into the Greek alphabet this year. The good news is it's still 56 days before it starts.

 X in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. X is the sacred symbol of ten dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not, as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name
--_Xristos_. If it represented a cross it would stand for St. Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape. In the algebra of psychology x stands for Woman's mind. Words beginning with X are Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary.

 We chose the workshop on Greek life because it plays into the hands of how Greek houses are trying to earn more respect on campus. We feel this will be a way to help with that by having the Greek leaders get some advice from Miller on how to improve their image.

 T, the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, was by the Greeks absurdly called _tau_. In the alphabet whence ours comes it had the form of the rude corkscrew of the period, and when it stood alone
(which was more than the Phoenicians could always do) signified
_Tallegal_, translated by the learned Dr. Brownrigg, "tanglefoot."

 The point of Greek Week is about Greek unity, getting groups to come together and have fun, compete and play like kids.

 I have turned my entire attention to Greek. The first thing I shall do, as soon as the money arrives, is to buy some Greek authors; after that, I shall buy clothes.
  Desiderius Erasmus

 He really hit home with a lot of the greek system. It made people think about what greek life is really about.

 It is too early to draw conclusions. Greek prosecutors are investigating the possible illegal acts linked with the presence in the Getty of the Greek antiquities.

 I think going Greek was the best decision I have ever made. It has allowed me to develop not only as a leader but also as an individual. I would love for everyone on this campus to experience this personal growth through Greek life.

 It makes the Greek system look really bad and it's already looked down on. It's weird why she didn't go to the police. If it happened to other people I think they would file a report. It sounds like a prank, maybe by someone who's anti-Greek.

 The British system had requirements, including Latin. I'm not positive you ever had to know Greek, but there are certainly kinds of curricula where you had to know Greek too. I think in Britain there was the most mindless, repetitive sort of learning.

 I love Greek Week. Although the week can be stressful, it is really a nice break from the ordinary. It is a celebration of Greek life, which I truly enjoy.

 Certainly, in Year of the Greek, we are trying to emphasize the strengths, (but) we're trying to address weaknesses also. We appreciate what the Greeks do provide the campus and the community, so that's why we wanted to have a year emphasis on what Greek life is about.
