I just found this great thread, and as it is a very rainy Saturday I thought I might as well make my time indoors educational and learn more about the NPC groups I haven’t been as familiar with. (It took longer than I thought, because all are so interesting.) We only had six NPC groups on our campus. The stories are so fascinating – it makes me wish there was more emphasis on educating members about the other NPC groups and their histories at the collegiate level.
Alpha Chi Omega – Their badge is really beautiful
Alpha Delta Pi – Love, love love the violets
Alpha Epsilon Phi – They were founded at Barnard too (too bad they kicked us all off in 1913
)
Alpha Gamma Delta – I love that their mascot is the squirrel (though I couldn’t find why – is that a secret?)
Alpha Omicron Pi – totally biased of course, but my favorite thing about AOII is that our ritual has not changed since 1897. I’ve even seen a founder’s handwritten copy of our ritual – which was pretty inspiring. Of course, I also love the badge and all it symbolizes.
Alpha Phi – I’ve always been a fan of the Lazy Phi badge
Alpha Sigma Alpha – I think it’s great that the founders didn’t give up back in 1913-4, which was undoubtedly the easier road to take. The phoenix analogy if very fitting and I’m sure that perseverance is an inspiration to their membership
Alpha Sigma Tau – I like how there is meaning behind the various variations of the badge.
Alpha Xi Delta – I really like the vision -
Inspiring women to realize their potential
Chi Omega – I’ve always been partial to the monogram-style badges
Delta Delta Delta – I like the open motto -
Let us steadfastly love one another, and how they incorporate the trident as a badge guard.
Delta Gamma – I like how the badge symbolizes hope. I like the new member pin too, since my chapter is Pi Alpha, but I’m sure IIA means something entirely different to the Delta Gamma’s than it does to me
Delta Phi Epsilon – Impressed by their Pearl Program
Delta Zeta – the Delta Zeta National Historical Museum is fabulous
Gamma Phi Beta – I love their support of alumnae initiation
Kappa Alpha Theta – They have a very unique badge shape
Kappa Delta – our local chapter uses the ladybug as a mascot, don’t recall why but I’ve always liked it
Kappa Kappa Gamma – Always grateful for the support their Barnard chapter gave to our founders back in the day.
Phi Mu – I like their open motto -
The Faithful Sisters, and their mascot “Sir Fidel”.
Phi Sigma Sigma – Have always liked their choice of the Sphinx
Pi Beta Phi – I’ve known some great Pi Phi’s over the years and have always been a fan of the arrow Pi Phi badge.
Sigma Delta Tau – Really like their Mother’s Day Flower Project
Sigma Kappa – I’ve always loved their new member pin
Sigma Sigma Sigma – Like the sailboat symbolism -
continual forward motion, never moving backward, but progressing towards its destination
Theta Phi Alpha – I love penguins!
Zeta Tau Alpha – I’ve always liked the badge and crown. I found the Chain of Chapters to be a powerful way to illustrate the connection of past present and future
