Fraternity and Sorority Arms, Seals, Flags and other Insignia

Hmmm.... no Alpha Delta Pi yet? I'll start with the crest (I've never heard it referred to as a coat of arms, always a crest):



The lion on top is the same lion as on our New Member pin:



Also on the New Member pin are the letters of our open motto in Greek: "We Live For Each Other".

Our pin (not a badge), for comparison (this is the latest pin style):



There are elements on the crest which are on our pin:

-Clasped Hands

-Two Stars

-Stylized Diamond around the candle (candle not on the pin)

During the short period when we were Alpha Delta Phi, our mascot was the dragon, and this is one of the charters with the crest showing the dragon & Alpha Delta Phi at the top. It's Delta/University of Texas Chapter, our longest in continued existance. Note that the candle replaced the Greek Letters on the future crest:



At Convention, there is a parade of Chapter Flags. They are White with Azure Blue lettering:



And this is the logo for our Foundation:

Tau Delta Theta at Ole Miss from 1900 yearbook. They were founded in 1895 at Ole Miss I believe.


They later became a chapter of Tri Delta (Chi Chapter) in 1904. I had posted this already in another thread but thought it was appropriate here too. I have the original at work if you want to see it bigger I can repost it tomorrow. I can also post their badge in another thread.

That's what Upsilon/WSU's charter looks like as well. We had been told that there were several different mascots on the old charters, as they had not yet decided on an official one, and we were the only dragon. Looks like that was a chapter legend more than fact.
