Hebrew on the Pin/Coat of Arms?

Which Fraternities/Sororities/Honoraries (both Active and Defunct) have Hebrew letters on the Pin or Coat of Arms. I know about Gamma Phi Beta's pin and Kappa Nu's pin had Koph and Nu on it. Others?

Phi Omega Pi's original pin had Hebrew letters on it.

Here's a pin with the Star of David. I don't know anything about this organization, though.

This has been confirmed. The 1923 Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (which is now out of copyright) gives a pretty good explanation at https://books.google.com/books?id=3jPtAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA450#v=onepage&q&f=false

I'm not sure that Baird's got the order of the letters correct , given that the Omega in the greek pin was in the middle and at the Bottom, I would expect the Shin to be in the middle of the motto.
