but the one I posted still pops up fairly regularly. Probably because it is so similar to the colony pin.
Interesting to note- on a few documents, rather than the rose, the AOII monogram is used (where most fraternities & sororities use their crest/bearings). However the monogram can only be used on those specific things. The charter and the member certificate are the two that come to mind. |
We also have on our member certificate the "seal" which is a Sheaf of Wheat with Alpha Omicron Pi on it. I don't have a picture but I'll see if I can take one and post it. Our Foundation has a logo that is similar to a seal, it looks like this:
Then a chapter I work with as a Network Specialist has this lovely piece of history. It is an old seal on a plaque.
This chapter was founded in the 1920s and so therefore the rule about the monogram of our letters only being on certain items probably came after this plaque was made. So this chapter can have this plaque displayed in a display case but obviously it is not a common item. So there are probably a handful of these plaques. I thought it was really neat when I was visiting them so I had to take a picture! It is very heavy!
