Ασκωση και αξίωσις;
Is this the correct spelling? Might the name be "Askisi (άσκηση) kai axiosi"?
The closest I can come up with for the first word is = exercise or practice (ασκώ), although the noun is then άσκηση, not άσκωση. Αξίωσις = αξίωση = privilege or claim.
So, perhaps it's "Practice and privilege"? Or "the privilege to practice?"

"Exercise and aspiration" OR "practice and pretention"
The phrase could be a synonym to "good things come through practice".
The word "αξίωση" is not used as "claim" or "pretence" in Greek in such a context. More like "pretention" or "aspiration". That is, only IF the first word "askosis" is really "askisis" (exercise, practice).

"You will know when you join"
That's right, it is related to the name of an organization... one which I am a member of, and I wonder- why exactly are you inquiring?

: I'm sorry, no disrespect. I do however know what it means and what it stands for, I was just trying to verify. I am "researching" and I guess I dug too far. Again I apologize.

: The answer is generally not considered a secret as you can read it publicly. The initial letters were said by the founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha to mean "by merit and culture." It's on Wikipedia and in books. Perhaps it has other meanings as well.
