Does \mbox{$...$} come in the list ?
This is recommended in the Lamport book to define
new math commands which may be used as plain LaTeX commands
or inside math environments.
In the preamble:
\newcommand{\myalpha}{\mbox{$\alpha$}}
Then \myalpha and $\myalpha$ (or any other use in math mode)
produces the required greek letter.
