Heh. Well, it has absolutely nothing to do with fraternities or sororities, if that's your first thought. Or at the least, that was never my intention.
Rho theta phi refers to math. It's a 3-D coordinate system that I learned in multivariable calculus. Rho is the length of your point from the origin, theta is the angle from the x-axis, and phi is the angle from the x-axis. (and that is probably more information than you wanted)
Admittedly, it's not the cleverest icon in the world, but I really wanted another calc-related icon and it was quick and easy to make.

LOL, I may not be good at math but as soon as you said it was mathematical, I knew what you meant. Thanks for the explanation.
Heh. Not a problem, and hopefully I did not bore you. (I tend to talk about math more than some of my friends would like)

I'm planning to at some point (though I do have the above icon and another calculus icon). It's just a matter of looking through my book and seeing what might be fun and not impossible to squeeze into a 100x100 pixel image while maintaining semi-readability, then actually sitting down to it (I procrastinate too much).

I am Elena, and an Alphan (the Midwestern one!). May I be your friend? *puppydog eyes*

Sororities? No, I would never have thought that. We don't have sororities here.
