So it was a bit sad to put aside all those symbols when we became part of AEPhi, but we adopted AEPhi's no-less-beautiful symbols instead.

Yup, totally the opposite of my experience. We picked letters and symbols because those were things we felt we
had to have in order to be a legitimate sorority. What would we tell the rushees when they asked about our colors and mascot?? (Pink/green and clover, btw) I think it would be very meaningful to take time to choose values, symbols, and a motto that mean something to you. Ours were just perfunctory.
