LXA looks fine to me, except the lion isn't really our mascot. I suppose if we had a mascot, that would be the closest thing though... I won't complain if you leave that up there, just thought I'd let you know we don't technically have a mascot, or jewel either for that matter. if we did have one, i'd say probably the pearl...

First let me say I've really enjoyed reading your series. I've ofter thought about trying to write something positive about Greek Life, but could never get creative enough. Keep up the good work.

I looked at your section on Alpha Xi Delta. And there are a few changes, please. First,
we really don't like the nickname fuzzies (except for a few chapters) so please Alpha Xi or AZD for the nickname.

Next, Al Fuzzie was replaced by BetXi Bear as the mascot several years ago.

And finally, we don't have an official jewel but the only gems allowed on our badge are pearls and diamonds. So I would guess if you have to list something, list the pearl.

thanks!

Alpha Gamma Delta's official magazine is The Quarterly.

Everything is correct under ZTA. We do not have an official mascot nor jewel. The site is great! Keep up the great work! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Sigma Kappa actually has several philanthropies. You have a key one of ours, but the Maine Sea Coast Mission and Alzheimer's Disease are our other ones. We do have a national service project that is not considered a philanthropy but is still important: Inherit the Earth. Thanks! The site is a great idea!!

Pi Phi's official jewel is the pearl and our largest philanthropy is now probably literacy! I'm glad you have the Greek page!

Pi Phi was actually founded on April 28. (I always remember this because it's my birthday! hehe http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif) We technially have three national philanthropies. Links to Literacy is a biggie, plus the Settlement School and Arrows in the Artic. Other than that, things are looking good!

Our symbol is the White Cross not the white rose. And our national philanthropy is not the Leukemia foundation its the Children's Miricale Network.

Here are some tidbits I found out about Phi Kappa Psi. I guess I'm kind of affiliated since my Big Brother is a Phi Psi. LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

Phi Psi was founded on February 19th, 1852, and the first chapter was located at Jefferson College, PA. Not a lot, but it's all I know. I usually talk to my Big Bro every other day so I can get some more info.

Brook,

Big job.

Delta Tau Delta was founded at Bethany College, Virginia (now West Virginia). Flower is the Purple Iris. Technically, the colors are Royal Purple, Gold and White.

Adopt-A-School is the philanthropy.

And sorry but the Fuzzies will always be the Fuzzies to me.

[This message has been edited by DeltAlum (edited July 27, 2001).]

The magazine for Chi Omega is The Eleusis.

Jen - did you get my e-mail?

OK then here is the info I sent!

ASA's symbol - a few chapters in the midwest use the apple but it isn't "official" or used on any sort of national basis. Our 4 insignia (this would be the symbol) are the star, the crown, the palm tree and the Phoenix. Also we have a second national philanthropy, the S. June Smith Center.

AST usually goes by Alpha Tau or Tau's. I have never heard them called Alpha Sig. Probably because ASA and AST are on a lot of the same campuses and it would be way too confusing. Also their mascot is the Tau Tiger.

Sigma Phi Epsilon
Flowers: Violet and Dark red Rose
They also have a publication that I think is called SigEp.
Their symbol is the founder's badge

Looks like a great project, nice job on all your work!

I love the page; it's nice to have so much information right at hand! The only information about Delta Zeta that you listed incorrectly is our place of founding. We were founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Delta Sigma Phi
Nicknames: DSP or Delta Sig
Founded: Dec 10, 1899 at the City College of NY.

I know I have seen the magazine laying around the dorms of my buddies. I'll get back to you.

The DSP magazine is called the "Carnation" and I believe that the mascot is either the Sphynx or the Snake.

Great work on this!

BTW, AXO was founded on October 15th (not 18th)...

Sure, why not? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif The lion is on our crest, and the Pearl is on every badge. Also, our "official" Founder's day is March 22, 1913, even though they say the "first step" in forming the fraternity was Nov. 2 1909...

Hey a few Small corrections!
Sigma Nu's philanthropy is Chilhelp USA, not the American society for retarded citizens. And their mascot is the Knight.

SAE's symbol is the Lion and the Phoenix.
and their mascot is the Lion.

and Sigma Kappa Sorority's colors are Only Lavender and Maroon, not white. Their nicknames are Sig Kaps, Sigma K, and Snakey K, not "snakes"- that sounds like a gang! Also the mascot is the dove, and symbols are the heart and the dove.

Alpha Gamma Delta's philanthropy is the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. (Every GLO has a foundation of its through to administer contributions to the chosen philanthropy and for scholarships and programs for members.)

Sorry to be a pain in the butt; I just wanted to make sure you had the right info! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Wow! What a lot of info in such a small space!

Sigma Sigma Sigma does NOT go by Tri Sig. Instead, we happily answer to Tri Sigma or Sigma. The official name of our philanthropy is the Robbie Page Memorial, in honor of our 4th national president's son who died of polio. (We played a major roll in funding the research that led to the vaccine! Yay us!) Since polio is not a threat today, our efforts go towards play therapy wings in several hospitals.
We don't have an official mascot, just a symbol, but some chapters choose a local mascot. Keep up the good work!

I always thought that the "OFFICIAL" philanthropy was the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. In my new member education I was taught that the Foundation was separate from the Fraternity, and that the purpose of Foundation was to serve the needs of its philanthropic focus (JDFI being a major beneficiary) as well as provide income for educational/leadership scholarships (LC/LA training), as well as emergency support (SIS).

OTW is right. I was philanthropy coordinator my sophomore year.. the OFFICIAL PHILANTHROPY of Alpha Gam is the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. We don't emphasize on Juvenile Diabetes, either, it is just Diabetes. The SIS and LC training are some of the parts our donations go to also.

Hey great page. Just wanted to let you know Sigma Chi does have a nickname. We are called the "Sigs". Good luck completing your page and keep up the good work.

For Phi Mu the Founder's Day is Jan.4, 1852 but it is celebrated on March 4 b/c that is the day that it was officially announced.
I believe if we have an official jewel it would be the pearl, and we have an additional philanthropy: Project HOPE.
Great job on all of your work http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Nice job on the page! I am really excited that someone has taken the initiative and done the complete page. Keep up the good work!
One thing on Phi Mu, we also have another philanthrophy, Project HOPE. Thanks again for doing a wonderful job!

Actually, at my school they do go by Tri-Sig, so i think it might just be on a chapter by chapter bases, much like the fact that the Kappa Deltas at my school are insulted if you call them Kaydees.
