What do the crest's Greek letters signify?

• A. The club's motto in Greek
• B. The founding year encoded in Greek numerals
• C. The club's initials in Greek
• D. A decorative symbol

Answer: (C)

The Greek letters on a crest are a compact way to show who the group is by using the initials of its name in Greek. This isn’t a motto formed into words, nor a display of a founding year in numbers, and it isn’t just a decorative feature. The letters are chosen to represent the club’s identity in a stylized, recognizable shorthand—the initials of the organization rendered in Greek characters. For example, if the club’s name translates to three key words, the Greek initials would reflect the first letters of those words, giving a quick visual identifier for members and outsiders alike.
