Freshling CCSC candidates are clearly not the only ones who confuse pi and rho as evinced by this cringe-worthy abomination below, for which we have SEAS to thank. Thank you! What would Gerry Visco say?!

@Gerry Visco It’s obvious faux Greek is far easier than the real authentic ancient Greek. And SEAS undergrads barely have time in their over-packed requirements to even take languages, so we should all take pity on their onerous schedules.
@why is this about seas? especially since office of global programs appears to have made this sign–lower left hand corner…
@Anonymous This whole debate is fucking stupid! They’re writing english words with mathematical symbols. There is no correct way to spell an english word in greek! The poster tried to write something using non-english symbols. And it fucking worked.
@Classicist This disgusts me.
@philosophy major who studied greek +1
@AHamdi5 Σεασ Στθδυ Αβροαδ
Would be more accurate, for the those nit picking
@CC14 iota instead of epsilon-alpha.
alpha instead of theta.
omega instead of omicron-alpha.
@AHamdi5 I’ve tried to correct some the the signs to no avail … it’s really a shame.
@Two observations 1. The tone-deaf response to what was clearly a flyer intended to be humorous suggests the commenters are SEAS kids.
2. The needless injection of cultural relativism into what was clearly intended to be a humorous and harmless flyer suggest the commenters are CC kids.
I am left no closer to a conclusion then when I started.
p.s. I’m not in GS.
@Anonymous u must be barnard then. gtfo our blog and our sororities.
@Anonymous it’s supposed to be mathematical symbols because it’s SEAS, duh
the integral sign is not a greek letter
@Anonymous Whoever made this clearly did not intend to write the words in Greek. This is only supposed to be a creative way to spell out the words in symbols that look like the letters. I think you guys need to lighten up.
@Anonymous Definitely…
@Anonymous i’m confused. what does this have to do with mixing up pi and rho?
@oh... STFU seriously. who cares??????
@If you don't care... don’t read the post.
@i'm greek hahahahhahahaahahahaha
“seDs stmdph dbpthDd”
@hm aka apparently they study abroad but they don’t study greek
@ah SeDS Stmdph DBpthDd
@Anonymous Σαδνεσσ.
@Anonymous i think the pi is supposed to look like a cursive r since they obviously were not spelling out the words in greek letters (delta for a) but rather using greek letters that look like the english letters
@Anonymous (rho looks like a p hence why they did not use it)
@cultural imperialism Yeah, but that’s incredibly americo-centric and offensive to other cultures. You wouldn’t write something in “fake Chinese” so you shouldn’t write something in “fake Greek” either.
@Well we are in America here.
@Anonymous i’m pretty sure club zamana’s logo says the name in english but using hindi letters. so…the indian kids are insulting their own culture?
@PrezBo Apparently CC doesn’t either. “cring?”
