And if Pi Phi uses states in their lettering system, do they not wear chapter guards? Or just single letter guards and say they're from whatever state?

Pi Phi pin guard

Right - the Pi Phi pin guard is traditionally the crest, done in gold filligree -a diamond shaped lozenge with a bird (Help! I forgot what kind, I believe that it is either the eagle or a phoenix, now I have to look this up) with arrows in one talon and wings stretched upward. Officer dangles may be added, but I have never seen a Pi Phi pin with a letter pin guard unless it was a very old one (pre-1930's). Excellent question - I have often thought that our pin was unique for this very reason.

Mine is a Gamma for my Pi Phi chapter, Alabama Gamma. Most of us had Gammas instead of the guard!

Then I was wrong & different chapters do it different ways. Thanks for the info, I always thought that every chapter used the crest. Carnation, do you know if the bird on the crest is a phoenix or an eagle?

I think an eagle. If it were a phoenix, I bet that it would have been widely publicized and they would have made it part of the ritual--it's so symbolic!

Thank you to everyone who found the chapters that I was unable to find. I assumed the ones that OlemissGlitter found are inactive if no one told me otherwise since I didn't find them on the (inter)national websites.

Sigma Kappa's Eta is active and is at Illinois Wesleyan University.
I think it may be our oldest continuously open chapter, but I'm not sure of that. They did just celebrate their centennial.

Phi Mu's Eta chapter was at Hardin College in Missouri, according to my history book. It was closed in 1911, one of several chapters who were ruled against in order for Phi Mu to be accepted into the NPC. Hope that helps!

That's the link for DDD, but you can navigate to different pages at the top - ZTA is page 461 and they're in alphabetical order. Hope that helps!
