gamma phi omega was founded in 1988 at Lake Forest College. the founders found a picture of the former gamma phi beta chapter in an old yearbook and were inspired to create a new local - hence the "gamma phi" tribute - and the omega personalized it.

colors: pink and blue
crest: it had several panels, but i only remember that one had chain links for the bonds of friendship. and another had daisies, and one represented scholarly pursuit, i think.

in 2004, all three local sororities on campus went national. we became delta gamma (woo!), and the others became kappa alpha theta and tri-delta.

Alpha Pi Phi is relatively new, and we're located in Ottawa Ontario at Carleton University. 3 of 6 founding mothers (including myself) split off from one of two international sororities after being discontented with how things were going. So far, it's been extremely successful, our first rush ending in 10 initiated girls for our Alpha class.

Open Motto: "Esse Quam Verdi"

Shouldn't that be Esse Quam Videri? Verdi means 'green'.
