greek letters?
Ok, I feel really dumb for having to ask this, but how do you get the greek letters to show up in your posts? I've been trying to list the chapters at KU, but they come out all funny looking! Help!

OK, here's what you do:
For Pi Beta Phi (for example):
(FONT=symbol)PBF(/FONT)
Except you'll need to replace the paranthesis with brackets [[]]
Whenever you want to quite using the font you just use the /FONT part. You don't have to do each GLO separately.
Most of the letters are pretty obvious--D for Delta, F for Phi, P for Pi, K for Kappa etc. There are some weird ones (I think W is Theta!) but you can figure it out.

Actually, W = W!!!! Took me a while on that one!
And C = C not X like I would have thought.
X actually = X!!
 I'm so proud of myself. I'm really computer illiterate!

You can also use "&GreekLetter;" Put the first letter of the greek letter in capitols to get a capitol, in lowercase to get a lowercase letter.
example:
& Alpha ; (no spaces, semicolon important!) = Α
& alpha ; (no spaces, semicolon important!) = α
It doesn't always look quite as nice (I think), but it does mean that your greek letters show up even when someone doesn't have the symbol font on thier computer.

Theta is Q, btw. Q
You may want to check in the Greek Life forum for a similar thread, I'm pretty sure someone has gone through and given a complete listing.
