Crown – The five-pointed Crown is an official symbol of the Fraternity. The significance of the five points is revealed to each member upon her Initiation. Many examples of crown artwork can be found within ZTA, and all are acceptable as long as the crown contains exactly five points.
The crown displayed would have fooled me, I would have guessed that it had 8 points with three hidden behind the three in the center. But in heraldry, you define it be the number of points visible...
