xo_sue,
yes the rose is used in all AOII chapters. We do not have a crest and where other organizations would display their crest we display the rose. This is what the website says:
The Nineteenth Century French rose, General Jacqueminot, a deep red rose, was chosen as the flower of Alpha Omicron Pi because its color is the symbol of the central and essential virtue of the Fraternity. Its choice had no connection with any legend, poem or story. This strong red rose, with its overtones of courage and vigor, was selected for its richness of color and fragrance, combines with softness and modesty of bearing. The Jacqueminot Rose is not available at most florists, so any deep red rose which is available may be used.
The Panda, while not official, is considered our mascot by both the chapters and the fraternity, and as pandarose said it's partly because it is the animal with no known enemies.
