The colors of our Fraternity are black and gold, the black for secrecy, the gold for true worth. Our flower is the black and gold pansy, the pansy representing thought for others. Our coat of arms symbolizes the fundamental ideals of Kappa Alpha Theta. The shield has three divisions, one for each word of our charge. The upper division bears a chain of links, symbol of love; the second is the fess of ermine, symbol of nobility; and the last division contains a scroll, symbol of learning. On this scroll are the initials of the charge, Mu Phi Gamma, that is to say, Learning, Love, Nobility. The eagle is known as the king of birds and also as an emblem of the United States of America , so the crest, an eagle’s head, denotes that the fraternity system originated in the United States , and symbolizes our aim to stand for the best in womanhood. The eagle holds in his beak our kite of aspiration. The crest rests upon a band of the Fraternity colors, black for secrecy and gold for true worth. The coat of arms originally was placed upon an ermine mantling, implying nobility. For us it indicates a nobility of cultured womanhood. The principal emblem of our Fraternity is in the form of a kite. Upon a chevron of white on a background of black are the letters, Kappa Alpha Theta. Above these are two stars, and below, in Greek, the date of the founding of the Fraternity, 1870. The kite shape represents aspiration; the gold, worth; the black, secrecy; and the white, purity. The letters, Kappa Alpha Theta, stand for the motto of our Fraternity), meaning, perseverance, independence, faith. The twin stars represent light and truth. This chain is a true emblem of our Fraternity. The joining of its silver links symbolizes the linking of our hearts in the bonds of sisterhood. On name of chapter’s chain, each member has her own link engraved with her name
