Coat of Arms
Coat of arms originated as family emblems, then 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.

| The 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.

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 Cross and Crescent
The combination of the cross and crescent are emblematic
of Lambda Chi Alpha's ideals and teachings, as the Creed
denotes. However, it's symbolism is much more and is only
revealed to members of Lambda Chi Alpha. Two notable uses
of the cross and crescent are the Recogition Button and
the Friendship Pin.
