Alpha Phi's crest
- Our colors, silver and bordeaux
- 2 of our major symbols, ivy (at the top) and the Big Dipper/Ursa Major constellations. Ursa Major ("Great Bear" is the inspiration of one of our less serious symbols, the Phi Bear!
- Lamps appear on a lot of COA's/crests/logos/imagery throughout human history, so make of it what you will.
- The lowercase Greek letters below the ivy (alpha omicron epsilon) stand for our secret motto and also appear on our badge
- The Greek phrase on the "banner" is our public motto, "Union hand in hand".
While we officially call this our crest, technically, I think a crest is only the thing at the top, so the ivy in this case, the bird on Theta's (eagle?), etc. Sometimes I think ours is too plain -- almost too modern and clean-looking. What can I say, I love the flourishes on the sides of come COA's!
