Fraternity and Sorority Arms, Seals, Flags and other Insignia
We have a thread where badges and pins of all kinds are discussed, and the discussion there (and in some other threads) veers to coats of arms from time to time. There are heraldic discussions various places, but it seemed like it might be nice to have a central thread devoted to the non-badge insignia of our organizations.
Within bounds appropriately respectful of the fact that some information about these insignia is public while other information is not, in this thread we can:

Here's the Blackburn Heart. It's only printed in red or gray to denote the warmth of brotherhood. It can't be printed in black because of a ritual reason. If the image doesn't post, I'll fix it later. |
I'm looking forward to seeing this thread grow.
In the meantime, here's a question: according to our official website, the coat-of-arms is a registered trademark. Am I going to get in trouble if I post it here? I love our COA, and want to be sure not to do anything wrong. I don't know nothing about trademark laws. |
IIRC, trademarks apply to making a profit off of something. MC?

Kappa Alpha Theta Coat-Of-Arms: https://www.kappaalphatheta.org/img/...atofarms4C.gif I like that our badge is incorporated into the COA. And I'll do some research regarding when it was designed. |
Love our coat!

Fraternity Coat of Arms
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...pcCjbWYxABEog= Flag http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/da...AFKUoAUpSgD//Z Seal of the Executive Council http://www.psiu.org/images/execseal.gif Alpha Omicron Chapter Coat of Arms http://www.psiu.org/images/coatsm/202.gif and last but not least, our Founders' Plaque http://www.psiu.org/images/plaque.gif |
Vito, what does your founders plaque say?
|
Yeah it's a poor image but best I can find. The top line says Founders and 1833 in roman numerals. Underneath that are the names of the 7 Founders of Psi Upsilon. All chapters founded before a certain date have one, and IIRC one of the chapters just had a new mold made, so new copies might be going out, though I don't know for sure.

Ooh I like this thread! I'm always really intrigued by the "other" letters on different GLOs badges or COAs. (Like MFG on Thetas and TDH on DGs)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...appa_crest.png Kappa Kappa Gamma's coat of arms. The new member pin is at the top, then Athena, then our badge, then fleur-de-lis, the owl, and our letters. Oh and of course it's in blue and blue! |

I love our crest and everything on it. The writing on the bottom is our motto: "Faithful Unto Death." |
The Greek at the bottom of mine is our open motto "Unto us has befallen a mighty friendship." And when I first saw the ADPi badge I was struck by the similarities. Both diamond shaped, gold with black fields, with the clasped hands prominent on them.
