Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Why did they flip Gamma and Delta?

Good catch. Though, I'm not surprised that anyone memeing for the manosphere doesn't know the Greek alphabet.

All they really know is that "Beta" comes after "Alpha." And maybe that Pi is in there somewhere.

ETA: Upon further scrutiny, they also put Omega before Sigma, even though there's the phrase, alpha to omega.

Sigma is at the end because it's too much of a cool loner to conform to alphabetic ordering (unironically)

Oh wow, they sure did. I didn't even notice it.

Alphabetical ordering, I assume. Just not the right alphabet.

Because D comes before G, duuuuh
