The harp is really similar to AXO's lyre? and DPhiE's symbol is the unicorn?

Barnard might also be a touchy subject for some since AEPhi and AOPi were founded there even though Barnard no longer has sororities? Barnard women are involved with Columbia sororities.

Thank you, and also to Mystic Cat. I can't believe I managed to miss how similar those colors are. Will look into Theta Nu Xi's colors---and back to the Crayola box, I guess.

HQ--I definitely thought about the harp/lyre problem, can't remember my reasoning that they were different. I was really struggling for symbols at that point. Ditto for the unicorn.

Thanks, guys, this is exactly why I need GreekChat. There's just so MANY existing orgs!

Barnard's kind of a placeholder for me right now, I mostly wanted to emphasize that they were founded on the same campus around the same time. I will probably invent a founding university for them, but my brain is overtaxed at the moment.

My suggestion would be to try not to think in terms of single symbols. Instead, think of combinations or specific forms of certain things -- think, for example, of ADPi's two stars and black diamond, Kappa Sig's star and crescent or Lambda Chi's cross and crescent. Or think of symbols that pertain only to an specific organization, like Chi Phi's chakett.

I mean, even if you just went with, say, a single (seven-point?) star in a point-down triangle, that would be distinctive and wouldn't mimic an existing org, I don't think.

This is a great suggestion. Thank you.
