LCA Has 3 colors, Purple, Gold, and Green.

You're right; I forgot. I think LXA adopted three colors as the result of a successsful merger early in their History. The Lambda Chis I know don't much use the purple. Their signature colors seem to be green & gold.

Here is the lovely Delta Phi Epsilon crest courtesy of U Michigan. http://www.umich.edu/~greeks/images/...logo-large.jpg

Lambda Chi Alpha shield

I went to the LXA website and noted that the image of your shield was in five parts. That may be why you're having difficulties posting. I recommend that people just go to the main site to admire it! It is very pretty (and I don't care if the boys don't like my use of the word "pretty" :P )

"There were a number of laws governing the use of armorial designs by women. These were controlled by the fact as to whether she was maid, wife, or widow, and whether or not she was heiress in her own right. On occasion her husband might include her family shield with his. Ordinarily she displayed her family arms within a diamond or oval called a lozenge and she did not display a crest as she was a noncombatant.

"The heraldry of the American college fraternity, however, is not a compilation of family arms. It bears practically no resemblance to the inherited arms of a family but is, rather, comparable to the permanent armorial designs of cities, corporations, or perhaps more particularly to those of old guilds where craftsmanship, skill, and a common vocational interest bound many individuals together even though therer were no ties of blood."

(Note how many NPC groups use shields: AXO, AdPi, AGD, APhi, AXiD, DDD. DZ, GPhiB, KAT, KKG, SK, ZTA.....)

That is truely gorgeous! I noticed the figure wears a leather helmet that looks like feudal Germany. I know the black eagle has been a German symbol for hundres of years. Do you have four colors?(red,gold,green,white). I think all American fraternities have only two colors. Congratulations, yours is an exceptionally beautiful crest.

Acutally, I don't know if sororities are counted in this, but, AGD has 3 colors as well, Red Buff AND Green !!!

Couldnt figure out how to paste the pics but heres our coat of arms. If you scroll down farther u will see all the chapter coat of arms. I think that only DKE and Psi U are the only ones who do this. I really cant tell u why we do this but my chapter's crest pays tribute to what we were before we decided to become a chapter of Psi U. Also each member of the Executive council has their own crest but they cannot be shown in public. Sorry i cant tell u more silver turtle....anyways what were u doin at nationals?

Here is Delta Gamma's Crest!
