NPC Sorority Challenge

[DDDlady]

Our chapter never really sang old songs (much to my dismay), but I have heard of other chapters serenading their dates before a party with it. I introduced it to a few girls in my pledge class, and we would just randomly sing it every once in a while. Lol. It is definitely one of my favorite DDD songs.

As he grabbed her 'round the middle his intentions were quite plain
As he touched her he enclutched her then he shouted out in pain.
He said "You stabbed me!" She said "You grabbed me! Don't you know you'll never win.
For every Tri Delt, every Tri Delt has a weapon for a pin."
My Trusty Trident, my trusty trident is much safer than a gun.
Safe and silent, my trusty Trident, with it no man's ever won.

That is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life. If only our triangle points were sharper...

[ASTalumna06]

As long as we're bumping threads for PNMs...

I thought I'd bump one of my favorites!

[DubaiSis]

I'm bumping this because I think it's awesome. There were some houses I knew very little about so I went researching and learned some very cool things. For the girls who won't pledge that one house on campus, I wish they'd see that every NPC sorority is great as a whole and has so much great history and future opportunity. I also love the huge ovaries the founding women had to take on this task in a time when 1-women didn't go to college and 2-women didn't even have the right to VOTE. I think it's also cool that we have so many astronauts among us! I thought Alpha Xi was the only one, but I'm glad to share that honor now that I know.

Alpha Chi Omega – love the music theme
Alpha Delta Pi – a longtime childhood friend was an ADPi, and when she had some bad family crap going on, they were really there for her.
Alpha Epsilon Phi- the giraffe is so unusual and fun.
Alpha Gamma Delta – love the bright colors
Alpha Omicron Pi – love the simplicity of red, and that you can’t attach anything to your badge.
Alpha Phi – on my campus A Phi was “the house with the winding stair.” Cool old house
Alpha Sigma Alpha – I like how their national struggled early on but was open to advice from an outsider and was able to overcome difficulties to become who they are today.
Alpha Sigma Tau – I didn’t know ANYTHING about AST, but went searching. I love that you have a bunch of special pins for special people, and that you are headquartered in Indy where so many great sororities and fraternities call home.
Alpha Xi Delta – I love our secrets, TFJ and LIBOS. I love our quill, and our gold and true double blue. And I love the uniqueness of our Xi. Here’s what I wish we would change: go back to Al Fuzzy for our mascot (so what if he’s a boy? He’s still awesome!), call ourselves Fuzzies everywhere, and I really loved Choose Children.
Chi Omega – my oldest sister is a Chi O and she and her sisters introduced me to the concept of sisterhood in Greek life.
Delta Delta Delta – they were our neighbors and had flaming Deltas outside the house on Pref night. I heard they were maxi pads (burn slower). I never learned if it was true or not, but loved the story. Plus, Delta Delta Delta can I help ya help ya help ya?
Delta Gamma – love the anchor, and the organization just seemed very elegant.
Delta Phi Epsilon – I’m all about living your authentic self, so “to be rather than to seem to be” is right up my alley
Delta Zeta – at my school their house looked like a castle. Easily the 2nd prettiest house (after mine of course!)
Gamma Phi Beta – Gamma Phis at my school were the IT girls and yet still didn’t have a rep for being bitchy. Quite a feat! Plus I’m intrigued by the Arab symbols and letters in their badge.
Kappa Alpha Theta – Thetas always seemed so sophisticated.
Kappa Delta – I’ve always associated them with Old South charm and grace.
Kappa Kappa Gamma – Love the key (I’m sure the simplicity of our quill is like the key not by accident), and the Kappas at my school seemed like they were ALWAYS having fun
Phi Mu – vibrant is such a positive word!
Phi Sigma Sigma – I like that they were the first nonsectarian sorority.
Pi Beta Phi – Pi Baaata Phi for you Pi Beta Phi for me. That song was soooo catchy.
Sigma Delta Tau – this was the first traditionally Jewish sorority I was aware of. I appreciated that they offered girls a place to call home at a time when those girls wouldn’t have been welcomed elsewhere.
Sigma Kappa – bound by a promise is a great motto
Sigma Sigma Sigma – I love the symmetry.
Theta Phi Alpha – as a traveler, I love the compass on your pledge pin
Zeta Tau Alpha – love the crown. We should all live our inner princess.

Slight correction - the letters on our badge (on our crescent) are Hebrew.

Was there a particular reason for them being Hebrew? (If I'm allowed to ask?)

You are allowed to ask.
I just may not answer.

[DubaiSis]

Good to know! I've been meaning to print a picture of the badge to take in to work to get "translated" but now I won't bother. Not that it would tell me anything anyway...

[TPA85]

Bumping for all the PNMs going through recruitment now to see that every sorority has something unique and awesome to offer.

[nittanygirl]

Bumping because I have always loved this thread & also because I thought it would be interesting from a new member period. I feel like right now it would be easy to get caught up in my own sorority (which I'm loving so much already!!) but one of my favorite ideas of sororities is Panhellenic spirit. I have always had an interest in learning about all of the sororities. GC has been a huge help in that.


Alpha Chi Omega: The lyre is so beautiful. I really like the AXO women at my school. I worked with one freshman year and she is one of the sweetest girls I have met at Penn State. I love the way the name sounds too. "Real Strong Women" I think that this is a "brand" as they call it. It is something I feel like we all strive for. I also found it interesting that they have a Patron Goddess, Hera, Goddess of women and marriage. Also one of the best national websites.

Alpha Delta Pi: My best friend from PSU is an ADPi new member. I am so happy for her and she really loves her ADPi sisters. I have always thought of ADPi as a strong organization. I also have a strong love for lions Also like the diamond hand sign & "We live for each other" - that's what friendship & sisterhood are all about.

Alpha Epsilon Phi: Going into this all I knew about AEPhi is green is a color & their mascot is a giraffe (how cool!). I love their open motto "Many hearts, one purpose" - it reminds me of the PSU Dance MaraTHON. I'd like to meet someone in this sorority, because it is one of the few NPCs that I have never met any members of

Alpha Gamma Delta: I have a great love for AGD. One of my very best friends from high school is an AGD for Gannon. It was a great decision for her to go through recruitment. It has really turned around her college experience. I am constantly on the lookout for red, buff & green, and squirrels! I love the rose they use in their logos/stationary things. I also love their vision, "Inspire the woman, Impact the world."

Alpha Omicron Pi: My favorite thing about this is that you don't have a crest/shield because those are not typically Greek. I think it is very cool to stick to the traditionally Greek heritage. I find the tradition of draping a piece of black ribbon over the badge in the event of a death of an Executive Board member, past National President or chapter member very nice. I like that there is a way to show mourning tied to the sorority. I also really love red.

Alpha Phi: A few years ago, I was surprised to learn that it was pronounced Alpha "Fee" and not Alpha "Fie." I think I read somewhere once that this is because of proper grammar (?) since Alpha ends in a vowel, you use the "ee" sound instead of "i" (similar to Alpha Xi Delta?) Ivy is very pretty, I love the new member badge.

Alpha Sigma Alpha: Again, I love red. Two girls in my "pride" (incoming freshman students group) went ASA. Some girls in my pride this summer (when I was a leader) also went ASA. I like the way the letters look together. Some ASAs from Penn State are pictured on the national website! So exciting! I also like "Aspire, seek, attain" motto

Alpha Sigma Tau: Two girls from high school are ASTs at different schools. LOVE anchors. I like that certain styles of badges are worn by people in different levels of the organization, for example, the ruby badge is worn by national staff members & the diamond badge is only worn by the National President/Past National Presidents.

Alpha Xi Delta: Love the gold & double blue color combo! I also like the way the jeweled badges look. Autism speaks is such a great philanthropy.

Chi Omega: I also love the way these letters look together. One of my favorites as far as letter combos go. Every time I see something owl related, I always thing of Chi O. Make-A-Wish is another philanthropy I feel a strong connection to. I also think of Chi Omega as a very strong national organization. I like the cardinal & straw color combo.

Delta Delta Delta: Another favorite letter "combo" I love how strong of an organization TriDelta is. I would love to see them return to Penn State in the future. Their badge is also one of my favorites!

Delta Gamma: DG is one of my favorites overall. I love the "Do Good" motto and can relate to the "Service for Sight" philanthropy. Every DG I've met at Penn State is fantastic. I really love the anchor, too. My friend who is a DG has an anchor necklace which I have always admired.

Delta Phi Epsilon: This is another chapter I have never met a member of! I really knew nothing about them until this except for the unicorn, & purple and that they have always struck me as being a very diverse group of women. The founding principals of "justice, sisterhood & love" are great and really fitting since they were founded at a law school!

Delta Zeta: Love pink & green. One of my best friends from HS joined "DeeZee" Turtles are cute too. They're colors & symbols are so girly! They also have a very well organized website.

Gamma Phi Beta: The ladies I know/met at PSU of Gamma Phi are so interesting! I like the crescent moon & that it has to be waxing crescent instead of waning (ASTRO 001 - actually learned something about moons!) I never knew that it stands for the growth of the sorority & it's individual members.

Kappa Alpha Theta: Theta is another organization that I view as being very strong. I like their letters & the "Think/Thought Theta" thing that has been circling through recruitment shirts. I am also VERY partial to black & gold (hometown semi-near Pittsburgh)

Kappa Delta: Love KD. I really like them at our school because they are so outgoing. I also love their close ties during founding to TriSigma The founders were roommates! KD was also supposed to be Sigma Sigma, I believe until TriSigma announced it's name, etc.

Kappa Kappa Gamma: Have always loved the key. When I think sorority woman, I think Kappa as a great example of this. It always reminds me of that sophisticated and polite lady. I only personally know one Kappa, but she is very very nice.

Phi Mu: A lot of Phi Mus at PSU are in a lot of my classes. I have learned the most about them through GC, but I really think they are a great organization. They seem very southern to me as a whole. I am a HUGE fan of the Beta Mu (PSU) chapters philanthropy efforts! They are one of the top fundraising chapters for the Children's Miracle Network. They hold a See-Saw-Thon during Blue & White weekend that I think is really cool.

Phi Sigma Sigma: One of my boyfriends close friends growing up is a Phi Sigma Sigma. I think the badge is so interesting with the sphinx.

Pi Beta Phi: I always liked Pi Phi. They seem like such classy ladies. I like the wine & blue color combo. I never knew that the angel was an unofficial symbol until today.

Sigma Delta Tau: I didn't know they were originally Sigma Delta Phi. I also didn't know that they were put together due to the subtle religious discrimination faced by the founding members. They yellow tea rose is a very pretty flower.

Sigma Kappa: I love the hearts flower thing in the logo. I never saw how much Tri Sigma & Sigma Kappa have in common, the Triangle magazine, the triangle badge, purple & violets until today. I really like the dove & heart symbolizing the love felt by members across the world.

Sigma Sigma Sigma: So far, I am loving my TriSigma experience. I love our sailboat symbol, sisters & so much more. I could go on & on already and I'm only a new member. I cannot wait for my love for my organization to grow even more when I get to experience initiation. I love our badge & cannot wait to order mine

Theta Phi Alpha: This is another organization that I didn't really know anything about, except the penguin, until now. I love white roses.

Zeta Tau Alpha: I love teal/turquoise. I also love how much pride the Zeta chapter at PSU puts into THON. They are always top contenders in raising the most money for THON. I love the crown & white violets as well. And of course their support of Breast Cancer Awareness & Prevention.

Do a search for the grammar thing, it's more about a choice of pronunciation between Fy and Fee or Xye and Xee. There's some classical vs. anglicized bit to it too. (MC's the one who always explains it well I think.)

[TexasSK]

This is such a fun idea! I really enjoyed learning about each sorority and remembering interactions I'd had with members of various organizations.

Alpha Chi Omega – I agree that their badge is one of the most beautiful, and I worked with an AXO who made me proud to be Greek.
Alpha Delta Pi – Two of the coolest gals I’ve ever known were ADPis. Two very different girls, two different universities and yet both ADPis. Very cool. I also think the picture of their founders is beautiful.
Alpha Epsilon Phi – I really like that AEPHi was founded on the idea of non-discrimination. I also thought ellebud's recruitment story was a fascinating look at the Greek system.
Alpha Gamma Delta – I can’t think of Alpha Gamma Delta without thinking “Southern” (even though it was founded in New York), and being from the South, I love it! I’m also jealous that AGD is part of a “triad”. That’s so cool.
Alpha Omicron Pi – I the like simplicity that the organization seems to have – one color, one jewel, no crest. Just simple in purpose and goal, “Women Enriched through Lifelong Friendship.” Very admirable.
Alpha Phi – The Alpha Phis on campus were some of the most genuine girls I’ve ever met and I always cheered loudly for their accomplishments. A really great group of girls!
Alpha Sigma Alpha– I think the idea that the founders wanted to form their own sorority rather than separating is a great one, and the connection with Delta Delta Delta is a pretty neat one.
Alpha Sigma Tau – I love that AST’s flower is the yellow rose – it’s a symbol of friendship (and Texas!).
Alpha Xi Delta – The quill as a symbol is very cool. I don’t know what the secret meaning of it is, but I imagine it’s something remarkable. I also think that the Alpha Xi Delta hand sign is really creative.
Chi Omega – I love the skull on the badge – it’s so mysterious! I also really love how well-maintained the national organization is, and I really envy the Chi Omega Shop. They have such cute stuff and it’s so well-organized!
Delta Delta Delta – I knew a Tri Delta from Baylor, and she was one of the sweetest and brilliant young women I knew, and I have much respect for the organization because she is a part of it.
Delta Gamma – I LOVE the nautical theme and the DG wave/salute. It’s unique and very charming.
Delta Phi Epsilon – I really admire that one of DPhiE’s philanthropies is the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, a very worthy cause.
Delta Zeta – I love the rose and green color combination, it’s very peppy and cute!
Gamma Phi Beta – Nearly a decade later I still remember so clearly the Gamma Phi Beta chant that I heard during my recruitment! I also really like how the colors, plus the symbol of the crescent mood evoke such a relaxed and comfy feeling.
Kappa Alpha Theta – I have a soft spot in my heart for Kappa Alpha Theta. Their international organization is incredible, I love the colors, the symbols and philanthropy. Not to mention that I’ve been told that I look like a modern version of Bettie Locke Hamilton. It’s really kind of weird.
Kappa Delta – I love the dagger, and I think that KD has one of the most beautiful open mottos, “Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful and highest.” I also like how cute “KD Lady” sounds – very Southern!
Kappa Kappa Gamma – A Kappa from UT was the first person to teach me what it meant to have class and poise. I have a lot of respect for the way that she held herself. Because of her in my mind Kappa Kappa Gamma embodies dignity and class.
Phi Mu – I love the girly quality of the organization. My mother’s favorite color was pink and her favorite flower the pink carnation. After she died, the symbols of Phi Mu have become that much more endeared to me.
Phi Sigma Sigma – The Egyptian theme of the organization is very intriguing, and the American Beauty rose is gorgeous!
Pi Beta Phi – I remember having a very bad time during those awkward middle school years when my dad died. One day on the way to my locker before heading home I passed one of the really popular girls in the hall, she saw what a tough time I was having and spent not only the rest of the day, but the rest of my seventh grade year making sure I was okay. She graduated from high school a year ahead of me and became a Pi Phi. Because of her I have an incredible admiration for the organization.
Sigma Delta Tau – SDTs national philanthropy is very dear to my heart, and the lapis lazuli is such a beautiful and distinctive jewel.
Sigma Kappa – I pledged Sigma Kappa because I really liked the girls I met. But after being initiated and witnessing the beauty of the ceremony and learning all of the secrets, I fell in love with what my sorority really means. I am truly blessed to be a Sigma Kappa.
Sigma Sigma Sigma – I love that Sigma Sigma Sigma and Sigma Kappa have so much in common outwardly. I enjoy that it makes people think that there’s some secret connection (and maybe there is…ooooheeeeooooh).
Theta Phi Alpha – The compass on the TPA pledge pin is remarkable and I love the penguin mascot!
Zeta Tau Alpha – I think the five-point crown is such a great symbol. It evokes such a great feeling of royalty and beauty, not to mention that I love turquoise.

[madeline21]

Bump! This is such a cool thread!

[IrishLake]

Why am I just now seeing this thread?!?!?! Thanks for the bump Madeline!

I can't go to sleep now without finishing this!

Alpha Chi Omega - I had no idea that A Chi O was also founded at DePauw until relatively recently. I think this is awesome, and I've always loved the Lyre (and Lyrebird!)
Alpha Delta Pi - I have a soft spot for ADPi because they were the "first" of the firsts!
Alpha Epsilon Phi - How can you better their motto? To me, this is what greek life is all about.
Alpha Gamma Delta - This seems kinda silly, but I love how well the AGD colors can be repped with food!
Alpha Omicron Pi - One of my husbands first cousins is an AOII, and she survived cancer while in college. Her sisters were her strength, and I so admire that! I also love how their "crest" is not really one at all, but just a beautiful rose!
Alpha Phi - The lilyofthevalley is my favorite flower! The scent follows me where ever I go when I'm outside my garage (I have a bunch planted around the garage). Their colors are also very classic and beautiful.
Alpha Sigma Alpha - I love the Phoenix symbol, and the ladybug mascot! I also think the story of the Farmville Four is one any greek woman should know.
Alpha Sigma Tau - I think the yellow rose is a beautiful respresentation of their colors!
Alpha Xi Delta - One of the 4 at my alma mater, and the gold and double blue colors always stood out.
Chi Omega - A dear friend from high school went Chi O at OSU, and I was so envious that she got to wear Owl items! I think the wise ol' owl is a great mascot.
Delta Delta Delta - The Tri-Delta philanthropy is a very admirable one (they've raised so much money for St Judes!!!), and we share our flower (the pansy).
Delta Gamma - Well, my baby sister is a Delta G, along with 2 good friends from high school. I love that my sister was so connected to her home right from the start!
Delta Phi Epsilon - "Nothing beats a unicorn." I love this symbol, and their colors are so bold and striking.
Delta Zeta - another of the 4 at my alma mater. There were no other Theta's in my area of study, so several DZ's became my study buddies. A philanthropy near and dear to my heart as well.
Gamma Phi Beta - I became close friends with a GPhiB from Wittenberg during our summer internship with the OhioEPA. Together we were proof that sorority girls like to have dirty jobs (we did stream research). She has so much energy and enthusiasm, that I always associate that with GPhi. The GPhiB badge and crest are also my second favorite. I always think of GPhi when I see the crescent moon!
Kappa Alpha Theta - Do I even need to say?!?!?! I love my sisters. I'll share a cute story: So, I have this same user name on another forum (TripAdvisor). I "met" another user there many years ago (2003), and eventually we became friends beyond the screen names (2005ish). At one point, I brought up being greek in college, and she said "I was greek in college too, what are you?" When I responded that I am a Theta, she said "I knew it. I am too." She pledged Theta at a California school about 8 years before I did. We've never met in person, but she's a wonderful friend and sister. I will also say that I am so very proud of all the famous/notable Theta that are out there. Have you seen Wikipedia? There are so many recognizable names!!! I also love that while we may not have been the first womens society with secrets, but we were the first to be founded with greek letters.
Kappa Delta - I just adore the "KayDee Lady" theme and their Girl Scout philanthropy! I always think of Leanne Tuohy as well, what an amazing woman she is.
Kappa Kappa Gamma - Another TripAdvisor friend ended up being a Kappa, and a Kappa advisor at 2 Indiana schools! She's old enough to be my grandmother, but she's amazing, and I'm lucky to have been able to spend in-person time together. So I always think of awesome things when I see Keys.
Phi Mu - I've always found the quatrefoil mysterious and beautiful! And the fact that they are the second oldest is admirable.
Phi Sigma Sigma - The crest is so mysterious and intriguing! I also think their website is a great one.
Pi Beta Phi - One of my first cousins is a Pi Phi, and she's amazing. I love the arrows and angels, and again, I have great respect for another "first" - the first group to have multiple chapters! I have been to the Settlement School/Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatilinburg, TN, and I think what they did historically in that area is wonderful (Gburg is my favorite vacation spot)!
Sigma Delta Tau - I think the torch badge is very unique, and their philanthropy is a wonderful one!
Sigma Kappa - I just love the SK colors. They're really grown on me since I've been active on GC! And Alzheimers research is so important as a philanthropy.
Sigma Sigma Sigma - I grew up on Lake Erie, and my grandparents had a sailboat, so I love the TriSigma symbol.
Theta Phi Alpha - I had no idea that their HQ is in Ohio, awesome! I admire that they were founded as a Catholic group, but welcome everyone.
Zeta Tau Alpha - Welll, again, the Zeta Queens have a special place in my heart, because I preffed there. I was torn between Theta and Zeta, but I knew if Theta did not extend a bid to me, I would be more than happy to be a Zeta. I had many Zeta friends in college, girls who are still close today.

I'd also like to say how cool I think it is how many orgs have their HQs in Indy, or in Ohio somewhere.

[sa1amander]

I'm sure a bunch of people have said this, but this is a really sweet idea!

Alpha Chi Omega- I love their philanthropy, domestic violence are such important issues and I'm glad they're helping.

Alpha Delta Pi- I really like that their new members are Alphas, actives are Deltas and alumnae are Pis.

Alpha Epsilon Phi- Their mascot is the giraffe because it has the largest heart of any animal, I love that. I know some very sweet and friendly women in AEPhi.

Alpha Gamma Delta- I think squirrels are so cute! I also like that that call themselves a fraternity specifically because "soror" is Latin, not Greek.

Alpha Omicron Pi- The ruby is my birthstone and favorite gem. I like that they don't have a coat of arms because it's not a Greek tradition (even though I love my org's coat of arms) and their convention of letting chapters pick their own chapter names.

Alpha Phi- All the women in Alpha Phi I've met have been incredibly smart and total sweethearts. I also love ivy and think it's an awesome symbol.

Alpha Sigma Alpha- The Special Olympics is a really wonderful philanthropy, and I love ladybugs.

Alpha Sigma Tau- When a friend of mine told me he knew a woman who had joined this sorority, he accidentally identified it as a service sorority, oops! But I think that just shows how committed Alpha Sigma Tau is to philanthropy and community service, which is amazing.

Alpha Xi Delta- An astronaut is one of their famous alumnae, how cool is that? I like that their symbol is the quill as well, since I love writing.

Chi Omega- All the women and chapters I've come in contact with seem to really emphasize scholarship, get great grades and take pride in that. I also love their "backwards" chapter-naming convention.

Delta Delta Delta- Their open motto, "Let us steadfastly love one another," is beautiful.

Delta Gamma- I love that so many of their chapters host Anchor Splash. Unfortunately the chapter at my school doesn't (they have Anchor Slam, a basketball tournament), but I've always thought that Anchor Splash really makes DG stand out, and it would be so much fun to participate in!

Delta Phi Epsilon- Purple is one of my favorite colors, and I love that they were founded at a law school.

Delta Zeta- Pink and green are an adorable color combination, and the DZ line Lilly Pulitzer designed is gorgeous.

Gamma Phi Beta- The crescent moon is a beautiful symbol. I just started working with a woman in Gamma Phi Beta and she's sweet- and a quick learner on the job!

Kappa Alpha Theta- One of my APO brothers is also a Theta. Somehow she managed to pledge both in the same semester without going insane with stress, I have a ton of respect for that. Also, Sheryl Crow is a Theta alumna and one of my favorite singers ever, and the kite is an adorable symbol.

Kappa Delta- As a former Girl Scout, I love that the Girl Scouts are one of their philanthropies (and preventing child abuse is a wonderful cause as well).

Kappa Kappa Gamma- Every woman in Kappa I know is so kind and an absolute social butterfly, they could make friends with the dead. I love that literacy is their philanthropy, and the dark and light blue color combo is great.

Phi Mu- My cousin is a Phi Mu and absolutely loves her sisters.

Phi Sigma Sigma- I love that they were the first founded to accept women of all faiths. They have a lot of fantastic chapters up here in the Northeast.

Pi Beta Phi- The first person I met in college who's in a sorority is a Pi Phi, and she is an amazing person and friend. I also love that their philanthropy is literacy, what a great cause.

Sigma Delta Tau- My mom attended Cornell, so I love that Sigma Delta Tau was founded there! I love the torch symbol as well.

Sigma Kappa- Like I said above, I love purple, so I love that one of their colors is lavender and their flower is the violet.

Sigma Sigma Sigma- Again, purple is an awesome color! The skull and crossbones on their badge are so cool, and the motto behind it, "Faithful Unto Death," is awesome.

Theta Phi Alpha- I was raised Catholic, how could I not love a sorority that a Catholic bishop helped found? Also, Theta Phi Alpha and APO both have helmets on their coats of arms.

Zeta Tau Alpha- A couple of wonderful women from my high school joined ZTA and love it. The five-pointed crown is a wonderful symbol.
