Favorite Open Motto
OK, so we've talked about favorite badges and coat of arms, but what about favorite open motto?? Whats your personal fave?
I like Zeta's "Seek the Noblest"and KD's "Strive for that which is beautiful, honorable, and highest.". (I am not quite sure if I got KD's totally right. )
I also love ADPi's "We Live for Each Other."

Is there any place where we can see a list of them?
As far as I know, AXD doesn't have an open motto. Of course we have our symphony, but it's not a short statement like those. We adapted "Inspiring Women to Realize Their Potential," but I believe that's more of a marketing slogan.

Delta Phi Epsilon's open motto is "Esse Quam Videri": "to be rather than to seem to be."

I'm a bit partial to ZTA's "Seek the Noblest".
But, I also like KD's.

You almost got it! Kappa Delta's open motto is "Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest," which is translated from Ta Kala Diokomen. My favorite open motto would have to be Delta Gamma's "Do Good," because it can apply to everything one does, and it's a great motto for life in general.

we have a national one that talks about leaders and all but my chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon at Illinois State Unversity says "Loved and Hated but Never Ignored" and that pretty much sums it up!

we don't have an open motto per se, as opposed to a closed one. But we do have a maxim to get motivated for stuff, "alma mater first, and theta chi for alma mater" It gets us up and moving, but we don't feel so bad if we can't always live up to it.

I thought "helping hand" was Theta Chi's open motto?

I always saw "Inspiring Women to Realize Their Potential" as our open motto, though I can see it being used as a marketing slogan too (though what are we selling??). That's why I put it as my signature.
The Sig Eps at my school use the loved/hated slogan, but they say it, "Loved OR Hated But Never Ignored."

Actually, Alpha Xi Delta's open motto is:
"The Pen is Mighter Than the Sword."
It is on our national website in the insignia section
