translation of Fraternity mug 1905
 
I have a Yale 1905 3 handled fraternity mug and a mug. It has latin and greek words on it. It has the letters ET, if I remember correctly this is Sigma Theta. Is it still in existence at Yale and also has a shield with lettering that may be Greek, but could be Hebrew. not certain. Will send pic of it, if someone would like....Thanks...

Please send me a pic. I am an avid collector or antique mugs/glasses of my fraternity.

ZZ if you find out put on site! It might be Epsilon Theta!

It could be Sigma Tau. :confused:

I don't know about the letters, but I'm thinking that the mug might have been used in some sort of tradition or ritual because of the number of handles it has. Three handles make it easier for the mug to be passed around a circle without spilling whatever's inside. I remember being told some sort of myth about this...
