Chapter letters in other than Greek or English

I noticed today that Acacia Fraternity used to letter their chapters in Hebrew (Aleph, Bet, Gimel, etc.)

Is there any other Fraternity or sorority that uses (or used to use) a chapter lettering system in anything other than English or Greek?

Triangle names the chapters after the college. A few still keep the old college name. IIT chapter uses the designation "Armour" chapter.

FarmHouse is similar, as does Ceres (sorority).

A number of UC Berkeley locals became part of nationals, and use the local name as their chapter designation (while the other chapters use Greek letters). Delta Chi uses "Abracadabra" as a chapter designator.

Alpha Gamma Sigma uses "Illidell" as a chapter designator.

Achoth, which became Phi Omega Pi and eventually absorbed by Delta Zeta in the late 1940's, used Hebrew letters for their chapters when they were Achoth.

Both Delta Chi and Delta Upsilon name their chapters after the campus location, not Greek designations.
