Fashionable Greek Symbols?

Tired of using nothing but the "symbol" font to do designs for frats and sororities. Anyone know of a nice "fashionable" looking font with greek symbols? Something close to Clan Ultra? Also, perhaps a distressed version?

Instead of a font with Greek "symbols" (i.e., extras for occasional use), you presumably want a font with Greek "letters" (i.e., for text). Many of the Slimbach/Adobe families have Greek — Minion, Arno, Warnock, Garamond Premier etc. There are plenty of other good Greek fonts out there as well, many of them without matching Latin.
