The first word isn't Greek; G is not a Greek Letter. I can't tell what it is. The second two words are "Phi Sigma." Presumably it is either the name or a motto of the organization in question.

The stars on the shield -- two groups of three, separated by a bend sinister -- are reminiscent of the stars (separated by a bend) on the Phi Delta Theta arms, but the similarity ends there.

it is (what we assume so far) a fraternity membership badge / challenge coin. it has been stamped overtop of an indian head penny (1860-1909).
Just curious who "we" is.
