Yes, there are no doubts that our armorial bearings are correct regarding heraldry! She assisted several other GLOs in adjusting theirs to be correct as well. Fascinating woman.
The TKE National site has this note about the Coat of Arms (not crest):

The TKE Coat-of-Arms ....
Modified slightly several times during the early years of Tau Kappa Epsilon, the present Coat-of-Arms, adopted in 1926, was designed by Dr. Carlton B. Pierce and Ms. Emily Butterfield.
