Help!! Looking for Fraternity and Sorority Crests...

[ZTABullwinkle]

I am the Fraternity Education Chair for my sorority, and I am planning a project for this semester to conclude during Greek Week. My main job is to help with the education on Zeta education in my chapter, but I have made another decision. I feel like part of my job includes educating my chapter about the other NPC, IFC and NPHC chapters on our campus. I just want to give out a short fact sheet on one or two chapter each week at the meeting till Greek Week in March. Then, I am going to have a "quiz" with a prize.

So, my help from my fellow GreekChatters is this: I need the crests from these fraternities and sororities. Also, if you want to include some information that you think fellow Greeks should know about your Fraternity or Sorority. Can any of you help me please???

Kappa Delta Rho
Lambda Chi Alpha
Pi Kappa Alpha
Sigma Nu
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Sigma Pi
Tau Kappa Epsilon
Theta Chi

Alpha Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Delta Zeta
Pi Beta Phi

Alpha Phi Alpha
Delta Sigma Theta
Omega Psi Phi
Phi Beta Sigma
Sigma Gamma Rho
Zeta Phi Beta

Sigma Lambda Upsilon


Thanks so much!! I really really appreciate it. You have no idea!!

Have you thought of going to the fraternity's websites and looking there?

Usually a Google search will turn up the URL's for your fraternities. Or You could go to this URL:

http://www.nicindy.org/fratsandsoro.html

which gives you links to all of them

It will take a lot of work, but try greekpages.com


Go to groups and you can go to the Greek Org that you wnat.

I while this is an unpaid ad for LXA, check it out! It is the most intrict of any Greek Org Coat of Arms and the closest to the Herelidic period of the time of days of old when Knights were bold!

The Delta Tau Delta Coat of Arms (It's not considered a Crest) is on the Google page above, but you can see just about all Delt symbols on the following link:

Just don't ask me to explain them. That's a no-no.

Properly speaking,the crest is the portion of the coat-of-arms above the shield and the helmet/or crown (if there is one or both) and the torse or wreath (the thing that looks sort of like two pieces of cloth twisted together). It is derived from the identifying mark that knights would wear on their helmets. Delta Tau Delta's crest is the all-seeing eye. Likewise, for example, are the crests of some GLO's that you asked about:

Lambda Chi Alpha: the cross and crescent (the crown properly goes with the helmet, not the crest)

Sigma Nu: the fraternity badge

Sigma Pi: the equilateral triangle with stars

Tau Kappa Epsilon: a skull

Theta Chi: an eagle

Alpha Phi: an ivy leaf

Alpha Xi Delta: a rose

Pi Beta Phi: No crest (Pi Phi follows heraldic tradition in this regard; because women did not wear helmets, their coats-of-arms traditionally did not have crests)

BTW, the Zeta crest would be the five-link chain. (And the Phi Mu Alpha crest is a lyre or harp. )

Much more info than anyone wanted, I know.
