About Lambda Chi:: Symbols

Coat of Arms
Originally used as family emblems; cities, societies, and institutions adopted them. All college fraternities have them, but few have created their design with such faithful adherence to the laws of the ancient art of heraldry as has Lambda Chi Alpha.
True Brother Logo – Rampant Lion holding the White Rose
This is the icon chosen to represent the new program initiative developed by Lambda Chi Alpha called True Brother. It appears on our coat of arms, just above the 4 quarters of the shield upon an in escutcheon.
Membership Badge
The badge is a pearl-set crescent with horns turned toward the left, enclosing a monogram of the Greek letters Lambda, Chi, and Alpha. The center of the crescent bears the Greek letters Delta and Pi in gold on black enamel. A variety of jewels may be selected for the Lambda. Probably no fraternity badge has deeper meaning that that of Lambda Chi Alpha. The pearls, the Greek letters, and the crescent have their symbolism, but each line of the crescent and the relationship of the emblems to each other add still greater significance.
Associate Member Pin
The associate member pin has a most interesting history because it embodies the official badge of Theta Kappa Nu as well as the original new member pin of Lambda Chi Alpha. The original Lambda Chi Alpha pin was a Gothic arch, and with the union, this was superimposed upon the triangles composing the official badge of Theta Kappa Nu.
The Seal
The seal is used to identify official General Fraternity documents and publications. It should not be used for decoration, as an ornament for jewelry, stationary, etc., unless it is to be used as the official stationary of the General Fraternity. It is now properly used on charters, membership certificates, and authorized publications of the General Fraternity. The design consists of the cross and crescent upon which is superimposed a shield bearing the letters of the Fraternity, above all of which appears a gothic circle bearing in Greek the inscription, “Seal of the Brotherhood of Lambda Chi Alpha.”
The Flag
The Lambda Chi Alpha flag may be flown on appropriate occasions or placed on a wall. Chapters may place their Zeta letters in the upper right corner to identify their flags. In such cases, the letters should be one-eighth the height of the flag.
Colors The Fraternity colors are purple, green, and gold.
The Flower The Fraternity flower is the white rose.
