Greeks
Fraternity members, slangily
Greeks are the people of Greece or those of Greek descent.
The ancient Greeks—their philosophy, democracy, drama, and art—form a foundation of Western civilization.
In finance, the Greeks are variables measuring risk in options trading: delta, gamma, theta, vega.
The Greeks indicate how sensitive an option is to price changes.
In American universities, Greeks are members of fraternities and sororities named with Greek letters.
