Public explanation for parts of GLO Coat of Arms?

[sigmagirl2000]

I mean, there are some obvious ones if you look at NPC coat of arms (I haven't really studied other council coat of arms). You can see many open symbols etc..... The MEANING is revealed in our initiation. I can't speak for other groups.

Part of the meaning of AEPhi's Columns (our equivalent to a coat of arms) is explained when new members receive their pins. That information is also on AEPhi's national web site. The NM pin is essentially the Columns, minus the Greek letters, so it's good that the NMs know at least some of the meaning of the pin they're being asked to wear.

Similarly, the meaning of the colors green and white is explained to NMs when they receive their green and white ribbons.

Most of the meanings of our symbols are not revealed until initiation.
