According to the History of Lambda Chi Alpha, we are the seventh order espousing knightly ideals to use the crescent as a symbol. It signifies eternity, purity, fertility and growth, and submision to divine law; it was the symbol adopted by the legendary founder of Lambda Chi Alpha, Rene of Anjou. The “crest” is a symbol identifying a warrior attac...
Perhaps the most commonly seen artistry representing Lambda Chi Alpha is our coat of arms, developed— unlike that of most fraternities— after careful study of the rules of heraldry.

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.
For Lambda Chi Alpha, there are seven distinct mottoes that we hold quite dear. Three of the seven mottoes are "open". This means that they are not considered secret and anyone, including non-initiates, may know their meaning.
