At the 1976 National Convention, the delegates chose another symbol to further this richness of our history and traditions. They declared the golden eagle as a new Fraternity symbol. An eagle is often found as a standard as a part of the nation. The golden eagle symbolizes strength, gracefulness, keenness of vision, and endurance. Jewel: Diamond

We have all heard from a parent or mentor at least once in our lives the story of the study oak tree that grew from a small acorn. The oak is stately, sturdy, and sheltering. Colors: Blue and Gold
Our color of blue is a royal blue color. It is elegant, a sign of pure deed and thought. Our color of gold is called "old glory" gold. A color also found in the nation's flag (fringe and tassels). It represents the high value, respect, royalty, and a sign of love.
