I completely understand
I have a tattoo of my sorority's motto in greek. It is secret. I enjoy that aspect because no one but my sisters knows what it means. People have commented to me that that is silly, but the fact proves even more that the tattoo is for me and no one else.

Again, corny, but I also feel like it is also a physical representation of my other family, my sisters (I come from a very small local sorority, we are very close knit).

Isn't this a big no no? Most mottoes are never to be written I thought.

Some mottoes are open. ASA has an open motto.

It is alright to write mine. We just can't say it in English to anyone who is not a sister. However, it is in actual Greek so anyone who reads Greek could understand it, we just can't tell them.
