This might just be my favorite thing I've ever found. As my friends and I scattered across the country and joined a variety of NPC groups, I love that people take the time to appreciate each group for its own specialness! Had to research some I knew nothing about and it was totally eye-opening!

Alpha Chi Omega I LOVE their motto, "together let us seek the heights". It's beautiful.
Alpha Delta Pi They're the first, so that's cool in and of itself. But I also love Alpha and Beta member names
Alpha Epsilon Phi Close to my heart because I pref'd there and the ceremony was beautiful. I love their colors, green and white are gorgeous together, and also the giraffe is an awesome mascot.
Alpha Gamma Delta SQUIRREL. I'm sure it's been said a thousand times before, but that is one amazing mascot.
Alpha Omicron Pi So much mascot love...I may just be a tad jealous because we don't really have one. The panda is adorable and I also like that they are strictly Greek to the point that they don't have a crest and just use the rose.
Alpha Phi I think the "forget me not" is an amazing flower choice, and knowing the Alpha Phis on campus and some of the hardships they've been through, it means a lot to them as a chapter and those of us lucky enough to know them.
Alpha Sigma Alpha I think having the phoenix as a symbol is so incredibly cool (I might be a bit of a geek haha) and of course the ladybug is crazy unique!
Alpha Sigma Tau Mutual anchor love here! I'm also a huge fan of Habitat For Humanity, so your philanthropy is incredible.
Alpha Xi Delta Their badge is stunning. It might just be my favorite of all the NPC badges (sans my beautiful anchor of course, which has finally been ordered!). And going along with that, "the pen is mightier than the sword" has always been one of my favorite sayings, I had no idea it was also their motto! And their colors are so pretty!
Chi Omega The Make A Wish foundation is an amazing cause to sport, and all of the Chi Os I know are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. And the symphony is beautiful.
Delta Delta Delta Another "I love your colors" squee! Also, the trident is such an awesome symbol. One of my closest friends from home is a Tri-Delta and seeing how happy she's been since joining makes me really happy too! And they have an incredible batch of alumnae.
Delta Gamma Trying not to be overwhelmingly gushy, because this is my own organization, but I love everything about us. I love our symbol, the anchor for hope, and I love our philanthropy (Service for Sight) because it's so close to my heart and something I have experience with on the other end. And our colors are so pretty! Though the Hannah Doll does creep me out a bit...
Delta Phi Epsilon UNICORN. That might actually be the most insane and awesome mascot ever. It will always make me think of Despicable Me though haha. I also adore their motto "Esse Quam Videri".
Delta Zeta The lamp is also one of my favorite pins. Their crest is also so simple and I love it. And pink and green has to be one of my favorite color combinations ever.
Gamma Phi Beta My best friend in a sorority is a GPhiB. Their badge is pretty too and I love the Hebrew on it even if I have no idea what it means. I love their crest too (the rendering on Wikipedia is amazing)
Kappa Alpha Theta I love the kite, and also their badge. The pansy is also one of my favorite flowers, we had them all over at my house.
Kappa Delta The dagger is such an unexpected symbol and I think it's really cool. Also, the teddy bear as another symbol is so adorable. Actually, they have a lot of symbols so I figure you can easily find one you love.
Kappa Kappa Gamma The blue on blue looks so pretty, and as a minor francophile I love the fleur de lis. Also, Minerva was always my favorite greek goddess growing up.
Phi Mu Ah pink and white. So pretty together. Also the quatrefoil is one of my favorite symbols when made into a pattern (I'm a bit of a design nerd). And the Children's Miracle Network (and Dance Marathon) is one of my favorite philanthropies.
Phi Sigma Sigma Being founded as the first non-sectarian sorority is pretty amazing. I love Egyptian mythology as well (all mythology really) and the sphinx as a symbol is incredibly cool.
Pi Beta Phi The arrow is beautiful, both as a symbol and as their badge (which is gorgeous). I love their focus on literacy too, because I grew up as the biggest bookworm and I think every kid should have that experience.
Sigma Delta Tau Cafe au Lait and Old Blue? That's such a classy and beautiful color combination. And lapis lazuli always fascinated me and is one of my favorite jewels.
Sigma Kappa Another favorite motto, "one heart one way". And the colors. Ohh the colors. I could rant and rave about how beautiful those colors are. And the dove as a symbol of peace has always been something I love.
Sigma Sigma Sigma Faithful unto death? That has got to be one of the greatest mottos ever as well. And I think the sailboat, the ever-forward motion, is meaningful and wonderful.
Theta Phi Alpha Compass? Check. Penguin? Check. Sapphires AND pearls? Check. Mostly I just love the penguin. Who doesn't love penguins!?
Zeta Tau Alpha So easy to find their letters to paint in craft stores (I'm a hardcore crafter, but I have to make do with my DG letters). And Breast Cancer Awareness is also really close to my heart because of my aunt and grandma.
