Each Psi Upsilon chapter has their own individual chapter coat-of-arms.

Psi Upsilon heraldry

Quote:
Chapter coat of arms:

Most fraternities have only one coat-of-arms used by the Fraternity in general, with no special symbols for the individual chapters. Only a few have a system of employing a national coat-of-arms and a similar yet distinctive device for each chapter. Psi U's system involves three principle features: (1) identity of crest; (2) mottoes framed on a uniform plan; and (3) shields, each combining, in accordance with a carefully arranged schedule, the principal emblems of the Fraternity (the letters and clasped hands) with the peculiar emblem of the Chapter. Visitors to this web site may view the individual chapter coat-of-arms and their heraldic descriptions or download a high resolution image of each coat-of-arms by selecting from the icons below.
