Here's Kappa Delta's COA. It doesn't conform to heraldic rules; it's more of a design suited for our ritual. There are interesting things about it that I could point out, but then I'd have to kill you.



I'll have to scan some photos of the original COA and post them. It's pretty funny.


Oh, I forgot to mention that the lettering in the banner is Ta Kala Diokomen which means "let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful and highest".

I have always liked that open motto. I also like TriDelta's motto, and lemme see... there's another one... it'll come to me.

Oh yes! Never cross a KD lady. We're the only NPC with a deadly weapon as our symbol.

Lord knows where my pledge book is (I think I might have hid it to keep my husband from seeing it, but now I can't remember where I hid it!) but I've got some semi-decent images of my sorority's crest. One is from my first pledge paddle, the other is my initiation certificate.

(Please ignore the fact that I'm in my bathrobe and my hair is a mess)

Yes, you're right! Pi Phi also has a potential deadly weapon in their arrow. I stand corrected.

I've always loved our COA. So many of the elements are spooky and mysterious - a skull, a snake,a bony hand, a dagger... I always liked that it was so different and cool.

I love that our pin is included on it, too.
