Hebrew on the Pin/Coat of Arms?
 
Which Fraternities/Sororities/Honoraries (both Active and Defunct) have Hebrew letters on the Pin or Coat of Arms. I know about Gamma Phi Beta's pin and Kappa Nu's pin had Koph and Nu on it. Others?

Phi Omega Pi's original pin had Hebrew letters on it.

Delta Zeta has absorbed Beta Phi Alpha, Phi Omega Pi, Delta Sigma Epsilon and Theta Upsilon. Phi Omega Pi used to be Achoth, the hebrew for blood sister. I think the original pin is at

Here's a pin with the Star of David. I don't know anything about this organization, though.

This has been confirmed. The 1923 Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (which is now out of copyright) gives a pretty good explanation at https://books.google.com/books?id=3jPtAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA450#v=onepage&q&f=false

I'm not sure that Baird's got the order of the letters correct , given that the Omega in the greek pin was in the middle and at the Bottom, I would expect the Shin to be in the middle of the motto.
