Greek letter characters

Hi folks.

I'm trying to verify 508 compliance on some pages listing our
fraternities and sororities. The page shows the greek letters for
each organization, which I have marked up using the character entity
codes (proper terminology?). For instance...

ΑΕΠ for Alpha Epsilon Pi, etc.

Question: are these accessible? Any special mark-up needed? Would a
screen reader pronounce these characters as "alpha epsilon pie"?

Thanks,

Keith
