Right - the Pi Phi pin guard is traditionally the crest, done in gold filligree -a diamond shaped lozenge with a bird (Help! I forgot what kind, I believe that it is either the eagle or a phoenix, now I have to look this up) with arrows in one talon and wings stretched upward. Officer dangles may be added, but I have never seen a Pi Phi pin with a letter pin guard unless it was a very old one (pre-1930's). Excellent question - I have often thought that our pin was unique for this very reason.
