I'm partial to my own of course, but I like the Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Phi crests.

I gotta admit I like it too - the complexity of the heraldy is quite interesting...

All this talk of heraldry has me intrigued. I never thought that there were rules behind the practice... makes me want to investigate further

I of Course Love LAMBDA CHI ALPHA and there was a lot of study done to make It Heraldric as perfect as possible.

There were Three, The Gamma Plate, which was the first, the Second was revised to get to what a true Crest was about, and then upon the largest Merger in GLO History, the Third which is used today.:) Merger, 1939, LXA and TKN!

I am not saying that there are any Crest that are bad, there are all of them Very Colorful, Simplistic and I am sure to the Heraldic Way. The intricacies and Designs have A Special Meaning to each GLO that They Represent.

But, if one notices, the Helment is that of a Squire, not a Reigning Crown. This will denote----! OOPS, In Ritual!:) Oh, in LXA.

:cool:

I need to get on ariesrising Thread and review them once again, She has done a Fantastic Job for us to use!:cool:

I love our crest. My chapter wins the crest drawning every year. I also kind of like ZTA's crest.

The Kappa Alpha Order
Sigma Nu
Phi Kappa Tau

Check out the similarities between Kappa Alpha Order and Phi Mu.

A favorite shirt from college is a KA/Phi Mu social shirt where the crests were merged so that half of each cost of arms is put together to make a KA/Phi Mu crest. (of course I married a KA an maybe that is why:cool: )

Roqueemae that sounds really cool. Do you think you could scan a picture of that so we can see what it looks like?

roqueemae 07-09-2005 12:02 AM

I am so bad with that stuff. I couldn't even figure out how to paste pictures of the crests onto my post!:confused:

When you type a post, there is a button that says 'IMG' above the place where you type the messege... if you put in the html of the picture then it will appear
