There are many different alphabets across the world, some more prevalent than others. Alphabets are a method of expression that help us to communicate with one another. They are a way of relaying what is important to us. Whether you connect more with the alphabet that English uses, the Greek alphabet, the numerical alphabet or some other alphabet entirely, if you're a Lehigh student, you can definitely relate to this alphabet.
