I don't question whether we have the right heraldry as far as our Armorial Bearings - she was indeed the creator of much of it.

I do, however, know that many members use crest, armorial bearings, etc. interchangeably. It doesn't bother me.

But all of our official documents refer to the armorial bearings.

Emily was such an interesting woman. I would have loved to have known her. I went to the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame when it first opened the exhibit about her and on the year of Alpha Gam's centennial our International President put a medallion on her grave, which I also attended. She was also a painter and many of her paintings are displayed at the Alpha Beta chapter house at the University of Michigan, as well as at our IHQ. Yes, there are no doubts that our armorial bearings are correct regarding heraldry! She assisted several other GLOs in adjusting theirs to be correct as well. Fascinating woman.

The TKE National site has this note about the Coat of Arms (not crest):

The TKE Coat-of-Arms ....
Modified slightly several times during the early years of Tau Kappa Epsilon, the present Coat-of-Arms, adopted in 1926, was designed by Dr. Carlton B. Pierce and Ms. Emily Butterfield.

I thought TKE was one of them, but I wasn't positive. Now I can tell my dad about that "You know Dad, one of our founders helped to design your Coat-of-Arms!"
