Which statement about the crest's Greek letters is accurate?

• A. They spell out the club's initials in Greek
• B. They spell out the club's initials in Latin
• C. They spell a motto in Greek
• D. They denote the founding date

Answer: (A)

On crests, Greek letters are often used to encode the organization’s initials by transliterating the club’s name into Greek characters. In this crest, those Greek symbols are laid out to represent the club’s initials, not to form a Greek motto or to indicate a founding date. If you read the letters as Greek characters that stand for the club’s name, they map directly to the initials of the organization, which is why this interpretation fits best. It isn’t a motto in Greek, and it doesn’t denote a founding date or use Latin letters—the purpose shown here is to spell the initials in Greek.
