FWIW, Northwestern has the original correspondence between Warren Cole & their founding father, Homer Clyde Myers (A-I #1) framed and displayed in the chapter room. If you want details, I can provide them in a PM.

When I visited the Arizona State chapter house, they had a beautiful wooden front door that had the coat of arms carved into it. I wonder what they did with since the chapter is now closed down and they are knocking down their house to build a new dorm.

Hey, I'm only 18 months late on this thread but here goes...

At the Univ. of Arizona they had a beautiful coat of arms painted on the wall that was visible as soon as you walked into the chapter house. I first saw it in 1996 when my big brother and I were there for a UTEP/U of A football game, then again 3 weeks later when we returned for Watermelon Bust. In 1999 we returned for another UTEP/U of A football game and it was still there -- unfortunately the chapter was in bad shape and was later removed.

The house also had letters painted on a wall outside. I figure all of that has been painted over by now.

Stetson University (zeta tau) - the wall at the middle of the stairs is a big marble wall with the Creed engraved.

Phi Kappa Zeta (Auburn University Montgomery) has a C&C painted on the floor of their chapter room. We have repainted the floor black on several occasions (3 coats just this past may) and it keeps coming up through the paint.

?Why would you want to paint over the C & C unless you are not a LXA?
