A sailboat on the sea moving forward, a compass guides, drifting side by side are a trident and 2 anchors just off the bow.
Tri Sigma, Theta Phi Alpha, Tri Delta, Delta Gamma and Alpha Sigma Tau
Wisdom is sought in the eyes of a squirrel, 2 lions, giraffe, poddle, snake, or owl.
Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Sigma Gamma Rho, Sigma Kappa, Chi Omega
A crescent moon shines, 2 torches and a roman lamp light a flight of a phoenix, while the sphinx waits patiently of riddles to be solved.
Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Delta Tau and Delta Sigma Theta, Delta Zeta, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Phi Sigma Sigma
A kite, dove, and arrow fly through the sky, while below a gentle breeze drifts across the strings of a lyre.
Kappa Alpha Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Chi Omega
On the beach each laying in wait are 2 ivy leaves, a sheaf of wheat, quill, triangle, crown, key and nautilus shell.
Alpha Phi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Phi Epsilon, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Delta.

hese things are mystical and have great beauty. Of course the women who hold each sacred, are gathering for they only know what each truly mean.
**Some groups share the same symbols, but those groups can't swap symbols with each other and have the correct ones. i.e. For this poem, the dove is shared by Sigma Kappa and Zeta Phi Beta, but they both don't share the snake, so they aren't interchangeable. Does this make sense? By process of elimination I put DST with the second torch, but I couldn't confirm this on their national website.**
ETA: Now, who's gonna write a poem for the NIC/NPHC fraternities????
