Greek Alphabet Mnemonic Device for Rushees
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- This is not intended for speaking Greek but for learning the alphabet as needed when rushing a Greek letter organization in the United States. I am aware that pronunciations may vary, for example depending on whether it is a male or female greek letter organization.
Brought to you by the GRLs of Gamma Rho Lambda, Epsilon Chapter at California State University, Northridge!
Mnemonic device to learn the Greek alphabet:
Alpha, Beta, Gamma Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega
@exilefromthefireland
Fraternities and Sororities chose Greek letters because when the Colleges first allowed them on campus, they were REQUIRED to change their names to Greek letters because the knowledge and culture of Greece were apparent in academia in America.
I teach high school English. As a part of our mythology unit, I teach them the Greek alphabet. This is really going to help. Great job!
OMG THANK YOU!!!
and for the one's annoyed by the mispronunciation, let's learn it first then worry about the way it's really said. I just need it now!!
Thank you for the work! It really helps, especially in creating a base for those having trouble just learning! Stay encouraged!
listened to this 5 times while doing other stuff in my dorm and already have a it memorize. sweet
@exilefromthefireland
For centuries, Greece was considered the birthplace of philosophical ides and values that most academia and Greek Organizations hold today. Most Greek Organizations chose the three letters in order to signify what their most important values were, For instance if their values were "Knowledge, Character, and Loyalty," their letters would probably be ΚΧΛ. Most organizations keep these letters today because of its long-standing tradition and to remind them of their values.
As a side note, a bunch of the guys were clowning on me for using this little semantic device to learn the Greek Alphabet, but the rest of the pledges fucked it up royally and at least I got the whole thing right the first time.
You Officially rock.
Listened to this on repeat for like 10 minutes and I now have it down. Thank you so much! AXΩ
I'm pledging for Phi Kappa Psi at Cal State Long Beach and this is definitely the best Greek alphabet video I've found! Kudos and thanks! :) -Brandon
I'm pretty sure that y'all don't know the meaning of "mnemonic" device... Because there were ABSOLUTELY none in that video...
Yeah, I looked at all the different songs out there to learn the greek alphabet for pledge purposes and yours made the most sense. so thanks!
Wow great video! I am a pledge for a Canadian sorority, Kappa Zeta Psi, and we have to learn the greek alphabet!! This is going to help! Thank you!
@HastaFatum
Well thats only just an example of what their letters could mean. Their letters could mean almost anything and are generally known only to the members of that Greek Organization.
I totally agree and this song makes it fun
@exilefromthefireland
And since the English alphabet originated from Greek letters, even if we used our own letters, they would still be "Greek" in a manner of speaking. As for being Jewish, not all Americans or Fraternity or Sorority members are from Jewish faiths.

@MMissy003
As for you MMissy03, I think that this was both a helpful and entertaining way to learn the Greek alphabet. As a "pledge," I remember having a hard time trying to remember them all with my fellow "pledge" class brothers. I am now the Sentinel of my Chapter and plan to let all future new members know of this technique. Two thumbs up!!!
this is really helping out because im pledging this semester

I LOVE this video. it has a catchy tune.
I like the music in singalong, even i like how the
pepole sing. Thanks for making this! Even I
need to learn my greek alphabeta!
Alpha + Beta = alphabeta! Get it? Alphabeta?
Ha Ha!
@cheerboi1 You are very welcome. Much luck in pledging.
put the audio in any music editor, speed it up to a 3 second track, and practice a lot. Then come up with a back up plan.
@exilefromthefireland "American Americans" would refer to Native Americans in which you already know some.
@19mrose Im glad this can help, you're welcome
@lilo082001 You are very welcome I'm glad you appreciate.
Awesome video, thanks! It helps with the order and recognizing the symbols themselves as well!
Did it... got my badge, drank a bit, called it a day... (=

Tempo changes
And politcal belongs
All shapes are present as a state of illuminance
All light has its state of being
Therefore light shapes are being
Clasps are existent
Figures exist and knowing
Seeing objects
And parenthsis
Thinking of those benevolent
Art and laying there
Is condensation pretty ?
thanks!!
Well I'm in med school where it serves for another reason! Again do something about it!
ah another missypiece that's a missy masterpiece
@exilefromthefireland
Technically, most Fraternities and Sororities like their members to worship a "God." Technically, the term "God" could refer to any power higher than yourself. So if someone was to believe in the String Theory, they would be believing in a type or form of "God."
@codebar4191 HEY sister! Or bro, or sibiling =D I'm glad you found this helpful and enjoyed it. Hope to meet you sometime (convention perhaps?)
@chicachic101 If you had read the description you would be aware of it's appropriate use which is not to learn Greek. Thanks for the time =)
@Foreever4 why do people not read the descriptions to videos before posting about them so they clearly have NO idea what the heck they're doing? Why not research into it first? (this isn't to learn Greek it's to learn the alphabet for pledge purposes for "greek" organizations such as honor societies, fraternities, and sororities.) Just because you never got asked to be in one doesn't mean you should post negatively for those helping others.
I LOVED the video super cute and easy!
@marli8907 You are very welcome =)
@MMissy003 Good job. Just ignore the negative people. They're not worth your energy.
@raddj1201
"... if their values were "Knowledge, Character, and Loyalty," their letters would probably be ΚΧΛ."
I did not know that. What do the other Greek characters represent?
It is cheesy. But I am rushing Sig Ep and this will come in handy. Thanks for posting.
very helpful! I learned it with a friend even though Im not greek..still fun though
@exilefromthefireland
Fraternities and Sororites would be forbidden to use such Aramaic or Hebrew letters because since America was founded on the belief of freedom of religion, we had a law to separate church and state institutions. By using Aramaic or Hebrew letters, it would make the institutions seem religious to one of those two religions. By using Greek letters, commonly associated with academia, Fraternities and Sororities could co-exist without expressing any religion.
@ndiesslin Aww thanks =) I couldn't have done it without my sisters as well. My sister taught us the song, I simply got us together to sing it and made it into a video.
i would like to know...as a greek greek person!!
Super
@RoyDaB0ii This helped when I pledged 10 years ago in college! Good luck to you!
@supaflyrobby I'm glad I could help =) And Thanks!
@20SpiderPig10 Great! How did pledging go?
@LeeonDeeon
@exilefromthefireland pe tous ta!!!
right on!!!
So i need to learn how to do this in less than 3 seconds...any advice?
So catchy ! It's a pledge fetish song !
You forgot the sir
Anyone know what tune this is set to?
@mcflygirl1977 How did pledging go? Or are you still in the process
@chicachic101 You obviously don't take English though, or you'd be able to spell "definitely".
The ISU colony thanks you!

nice effort guys however..mu nu?????
its MI NI like you pronounce 'e' in the word b(e) and π (pie) no no no its also PI like MI and NI !!! :) cheers
Thas was nice but the pronouncation of some letters is different actually. Why do they teach the pronouncation in the wrong way always abroad? It's Πι not Πάι, and γιώτα not ιώτα. Show me some merci.
@exilefromthefireland
As for you being prejudice, how can you talk about those sorority students talking about Greece being about drinking and fun when you yourself rationalize both Sororities and Americans without meeting different ones? For all you know, it could be just people from the Netherlands that act that way. Also, how can you talk about Americans not having respect for Greek culture when you slander and group us all into the same category?
Can you ask a person that actually speaks Greek the right way to say it

@chicachic101 i'm guessing besides not being able to read, you can't spell either. that's fine, just don't come on here attacking others unless you have a valid point.
Oh, that's funny. I think you should learn the difference between "its" and "it's" before you try to degrade someone over a spelling mistake.

i sing the greek alphabet song
with the microphone
And literally of course
@exilefromthefireland Wait I think you should come live the life in a Sorority or Fraternity. It has NOTHING to do with Greek culture or anything. Greek letters are just used. Almost all Sororities and Fraternities are based from a Christian Religion.
@exilefromthefireland Damn Butt-hurt Betty... chill
The purpose of Fraternities/Sororities aren't about Greek culture, sure there is some (maybe not proper), they're about building comradery, leadership, and maturity.
So don't hate on Americans because you don't like the select few that join these houses that you know nothing about.
Jesus?
All trees could be called beta and pronounced veeta
All pronouncement are speech but what if it were embossed
Therefore pronounced trees are embossed

All virtue is wealth an can skillful
Therefore morals are virtue of skill
Crabs and peacocks :-)
All gate posture is like tic tac toe
All toes are epistemological with metastructure
Therefore toed gates are metastructures
Wheels crows and cranes
See thought
@exilefromthefireland: You might know the Greek Alphabet, but you obviously do not know how to proofread. Native Americans are "American-American", as you so colloquially put it. You don't truly expect everyone in America to be immigrants do you? There are actually babies being born here.
@Jassyt9008 NIce but the accent is extremely horribly
no need to make it into a song.
bpe tous malakais
Wrong tune
No
You spelled Mnemonic wrong.
I think your sorority should lower it's alcohol intake.
axax0ax0x0a0a0axax0xa00ax0xa0a :P
@tiffelau168 you most probably havent noticed that in my first comment i refer to native americans!and they are not americans!!!they are indegenous people that your barbaric ansestors slaughtered so now you can be named an american.i dont think the name before your bloody ancestors go there was america.and the fact that someone is born somewhere it doesnt make him indigenous to the land.say i am a racist but each nation has its land!what is yours?the one you STOLE from the native/indigenous??
succ
@purrplehaze619
america...is he shitiest country off the world!!and you are just another "sleeping chiken",creation off your goverment!!!shut the fcuk..!!wherever america goes..destruction follows!!!
@AkaoKiyotsu i speak the language you and the rest of americans understand the best..!!i argue with a reason but i will insult you as well as you insult the alphabet!!you only learn the alphabet to join gay massonic sorroroties and you think you getting close to the greek culture by wearing a toga and going fucking drunk!that is not greek neither the way you learn the alphabet is!BTW if you learnt greek for a reason-refering to "earth"-you would know what ΓΑΙΑ is and how to pronounce it..
Wow you are truly stupid! LOL You have nothing better to do than to talk down on people. Appreciate people who try... otherwise, I would suggest you do a better job. A great "non american" once said "be the change you want to see in the world" I suggest that quote start with you!
this was horrible...
@doughnutshop110 i know that.that is why i am furious,except from your terrible accent.if your sorroroties have christian background use aramaic or hebrew language for your ceremonies,sumbolism etc....do not confuse people by using greek letters for fun!!greek language,culture and heritage is NOT for fun!!!and although i havent live the sorrority experience,i meet all the time stupid and clueless sorrority students in the netherlands where i study.and they think greece is only alcohol and fun..
@SayWhatIWantToSay is more possible that a dog created more than what you call god. you dont learn the alphabet that way...you are just pretending a a parrot which says whatever he heard.furthermore is even more stupid to be a wrong parrot...!!i didnt say greeks are superior to any other,but americans are deffinatelly the most stupid race ever walked planet earth!!have some respect for greek culture...i dont think you make fun with your jewish heritage...
Fake b****
