Dr. Francis W. Shepardson, presidentof the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, soundedthe keynote of the trend of thought inprogressive fraternity circles at the lastInterfraternity Conference when he said,“We must get back to our altars.” Thisis a natural reaction to the situation weare facing today as a result of the mod-ern type of fraternity house, patternedas it is along the lines of a social club. Inthe evolution of this building programto meet the ever-changing conditionsof fraternity life the undergraduatefraternity man has lost many of thecharming experiences which he en-joyed in the more intimate associationwith his fraternity brothers which theold house provided. And with thistendency toward the club life has beenlost a little of that mystic somethingknown as fraternity spirit.

In the definite attempt to circumventthe disadvantage of modern conditionsa greater emphasis is being placed uponthe ritual, involving as it does the ideal-ism sponsored by the fraternity as wellas stressing a better acquaintance withthe auxiliary symbols used in this worksuch as the fraternity badge, the pledgepin, the coat of arms, et cetera.

In order to better understand the ad-vantages which a more thorough knowl-edge of the armorial bearing of Delta Chiwill give, we are going to relate some-thing concerning the background of thisimportant piece of insignia. We willshow how it originated and why theidea was sponsored by the Americancollege fraternities. We will also explainas fully as permissible the technical com-position of the Delta Chi escutcheon it-self, and finally compare it with the armsof several other fraternities of interna-tional membership.

Heraldry developed with and out ofa system of mediaeval military aristoc-racy which reached the highest point ofits perfection near the end of the seven-teenth century. The history of that timerevolved about the feudal system whichintimately touched every phase of life,including not only the religious and eco-nomic structure of society, but social lifeas well. Because of the inadequacy ofgovernments, (the national concept hadnot met with the acceptance that we af-

ford it today) the lords of the manorwere supreme in their domains. Eachbanded together his vassals, sometimeswith those of other lords to do servicefor the kind, although more often eachlord fought independently and as hewilled. Under the lords or nobles werethe knights, and these fighting men wereconsidered the gentlemen of the times.Book knowledge was confined to themonasteries and culture was knownonly at the royal courts.

The knights were the champions ofright. They defended religion and wenton long and ofttimes dangerous cru-sades to wrest the Holy Land from theSaracen. When not engaged in suchcampaigns, nor even in tournaments,they spent their time in diligently run-ning to earth roving bands of outlawswhich infested the country. The knightswore mail armor as a protection in com-bat and when thus encumbered lostmuch of their identity. In order to re-store this lost identity and to distinguishfriend from foe they decorated theirshields with whatever devices their

Hewas the founder of the Balfour Companyand president of the NIC in 1941. Hisinterpretation of Delta Chi’s coat of arms isbased on heraldic standards and reflectsboth our general compliance with thosestandards and his lack of knowledge of oursecrets/terminology. His article also reflectsthat the more things seem to change, themore they stay the same.

minds might fancy. These devicesformed the basis for the coat of armsdesign. Later, when the crown assumedthe right to grant arms to worthy andloyal henchmen, the designing of this in-signia was developed into more or lessstandard form or coat of armor.

As the number of those eligible andworthy of the coveted honor of carry-ing armorial bearings grew, it becamenecessary to formulate definite rulesfor applying charges, tinctures, ordi-naries, et cetera, in heraldic composi-tions so that order might be main-tained in an ever increasing and com-plicated array of arms. It was true thatmany achievements were awkwardand did not conform to the recognizedstandards of the day. On the conti-nent the designing of armorial bear-ings never reached the classic stagethat the heraldic succeeded in establish-ing in England, so we look to Englishheraldry for our inspiration and rulesin designing this important insignia forthe American college fraternity.

Just as the system of heraldry wasused to represent the stamp of cultureand refinement in the past, so Americancollege fraternities have availed them-selves of its use to represent the courte-sies and the stamp of gentlemanly con-duct as exemplified in the idealism andrituals of their organization.

The Greek letter fraternity systemis older than our own federal govern-ment but its adaptation of heraldic de-

vices is comparatively a recent devel-opment. The arms of Beta Theta Pi weredesigned about 1869; those of PhiGamma Delta in 1879; those of DeltaTau Delta in 1888 and Sigma Chi ap-proved their armorial bearings in 1889.

The Delta Chi coat of arms was designedin 1890, but altered several years later.

In presenting any armorial bearingsit is customary to make a drawing ei-ther in full color or, if the reproductionis to be made in monotone, to representthese colors by tricking. In tricking, thecolors and metals used in the composi-tion are clearly indicated by notation, orthey are indicated by a standard dot andline system. The artwork is called theemblazonry and the accompany descrip-tion is the blazonry.

Before we can blazon the coat ofarms of the Delta Chi Fraternity, it willbe necessary to briefly explain someof the essential details concerning he-raldic achievements.

A coat of arms usually consists of ashield or escutcheon, above which isshown a helmet, draped in a mantling.Above the helmet is the crest consistingof the torse and some device represent-ing the crest proper. Under the shield isusually placed a motto inscribed upona ribbon. (See Figure 2). On the moreformal arms, and especially those of thenobility, are shown supporters on eitherside of the shield, but in common withother college fraternities, the Delta Chiarms are abbreviated and consist only

of the crest, escutcheon, a tie uniting them,and a motto ribbon.

The heraldic shield as shown in Fig-ure 2 had certain definite areas or pointswhich were named. 1, 2, and 3 consti-tuted the chief portion of the shield-1, thedexter chief-2, middle chief, and 3, the sin-ister chief-dexter being the right hand sideof the shield and sinister the left handside of the shield. 4 is the honor point, 5the fess point and 6 the natal point. 7, 8,and 9 represent respectively dexter base,middle base, and sinister base.

The shield was divided into one ofseveral recognized patterns by partitionlines. The most noteworthy of theselines are listed to the right of Figure 2and are: engriled, unde, wavy, indented,embattled, potente, invected, nebule,dancette, ragule, and dovetailed.

The divisions of the shield or patternsformed by these partition lines were: perfess, or an equal division of the shieldwith a fess or horizontal line; per pale, bya pale or perpendicular line; per bendwith a bend or an oblique line runningfrom the dexter chief to the sinister base;per bend by a sinister bend or a line run-ning from the sinister chief to the dexterbase; per chevron by a chevron line andquarterly by a combination of the per fessand per pale lines.

Beside the divisions with ten ordinar-ies or major charges which were appliedto the shield, namely the chief, a pale, abend, a bend sinister, a cross, a saltire cross,a chevron, a pile, and a quarter. In addi-

tion to the ordinaries there were manycharges consisting of flowers, both natu-ral or proper and conventionalized; ani-mals and parts of animals; birds, fish,implements of warfare and in fact therepresentation of anything which wasof interest in mediaeval times.

The several portions of the shield, theordinaries and the charges were shown incolor on the emblazonment. When shownin monotone the heraldic metals and col-ors were indicated as follows: argent-sil-ver-without any notation; or gold byequal-spaced dots; gules-red-by equal-spaced horizontal lines; azure – blue-byequal spaced vertical lines; sable-black-by solid areas, or more often by horizon-tal and vertical lines crossing at rightangles; purpure-purple-by equal-spacedoblique lines running from the dexterbase to sinister chief and vert-green – byequal-spaced oblique lines running fromthe dexter chief to the sin-ister base. Beside thesecolors and metals werefurs and other devices.

The division per pale isshown in figure “A”-perpale, argent, and or. In fig-ure “B”-[per fess, gules,and azure. In figure “C”-quarterly, sable, and argent.Figure “D”-per bend,purpure, and vert. Figure“E”-gules, a chief, argent.Figure “F”-quarterly, sableand azure. In figure “G”-per chevron, sable and vert.

Bearing in mind the methods of divi-sion as well as the various charges andcoloration possible, we will blazon thearms of the Delta Chi Fraternity and ex-plain the terminology employed.

Blazonry of the Delta Chi Coat of ArmsQuarterly, first and fourth, three mar-

tlets volant sable, 2 and 1, second andthird gules, a battle ax bendwise cross-ing a scimitar blade pointing upward,saltirewise proper. Crest: On a wreathof the colors the badge of Delta Chiproper. Motto: LEGES.

Inasmuch as the terms of heraldry arederived mainly from the old NormanFrench and are peculiar to heraldry justas the terminology of law, architecture,et cetera, are appropriate only to thoseprofessions, it is necessary to elaborateto some extent so that the blazonry maybe more readily understood. As alreadymentioned, English heraldry is used as

the source for the design of practicallyall the armorial bearings used in thiscountry. However, the English werestrongly influenced by the French dueto the invasion under William the Con-queror. French, the language of the con-querors, became the polite language ofthe day and so it naturally followed thatwhen arms were granted they couldonly be correctly described in the actualterms used by those in power and thuswe account for the strong French influ-ence in the blazon. This peculiar termi-nology is still followed.

Quarterly: Quarterly indicates thatthe escutcheon has been divided intofour equal parts by two lines-one hori-zontal or fesswise and the other verticalor palewise. The divisions so formedare numbered from left to right for clear-ness’ sake, 1 and 2 above and 3 and 4below. Quartering in this fashion often

enhances the beauty of the design becauseit permits of a more flexible handling ofthe charges, giving emphasis by repeti-tion in quarters 1 and 4 and 2 and 3.

First and fourth denotes that thecharges next mentioned appear in thefirst and fourth quarters of the shield.

Or: Or is the heraldic term for gold.The fact that it is mentioned next inthe blazonry indicates that gold is thebasic color of the first and fourth quar-ters. Or is the color of the sun, of light,of ambition, and nobility of purpose.it constitutes a most appropriate back-ground for the gold.

Three Martlets Volant Sable: Three de-notes the number of martlets shown.Martlets were peculiar heraldic birds,which invariably were shown withoutfeet. Here they are depicted volant, orin flight, indicating that they representthree high or the principal ideals or aspi-

rations of the fraternity. They are coloredsable, or black, denoting that as such theyare secret, revealed only to the initiate.

2 and 1 is the heraldic way of express-ing the fact that the first two ideals havea deeper significance than the third.

Martlets are beautiful symbols typi-fying the three most revered and inspir-ing principles of the Delta Chi Frater-nity. Emblazoned upon the goldenbackground they suggest to the initiatethe many opportunities which lie onevery hand to exemplify the noble ide-als which were revealed to him at thealtar and which he has vowed to cham-pion in his daily life.

Second and third like first and fourth,indicates the two remaining portions ofthe field which have been tinctured.

Gules-the heraldic word for red, thecolor of courage, of daring, of thestrength to endure and to carry through

any undertaking oncebegun. The fact that thesecond and third quar-ters are shown gules issymbolic of the couragewith which they willstrive to attain the full sig-nificance of their at-tributes in the face of op-position and ridicule.

A Battle Ax: This imple-ment of warfare was a fa-vorite charge with theheralds. In actual prac-tice it was used not onlyby the foot soldiers or

yeomen in battle, but by the servants ofthose in authority whose duty it was toenforce the laws or edicts of the kind.In later days the battle ax bound withreeds was called a mace which is evento this day emblematic of law and or-der. The battle ax is shown

Bendwise, or in oblique position, whichpermits it to be crossed with a Scimitar,the blade of which is pointing upward.These two implements form a SaltireCross, similar to the letter “X”. Because oftheir position they undoubtedly allude totwo principles of secondary importance.

Proper means that the charges so de-scribed in tinctured in their true ornatural colors.

Crest: This is one of the most impor-tant parts of the entire armorial bearings.In fact, so important has the crest be-come that the word is frequently usedto indicate the entire coat-of-arms while

in the case of Delta Chi it is merely thatpart which appears above the shield, in-cluding the torse. In the days of the Cru-sades all knights, when dressed in ar-mor, were so similar in appearance thatit was necessary for them to choosesome character and attach it to their hel-met in order that they might readily bedistinguished from the enemy in battle.Especially was this true of the leaders.That very essential practice has resultedin creating the element of importancewith which the actual crest is regarded.

On a wreath of the Colors: This heral-dic phrase refers to the torse or the crestwreath which, shown in profile, is rep-resented by six divisions in a twistedlink chain-like effect, composed of first,the color of the metal and second, theprincipal color in the escutcheon-thetwo colors alternating. We read in theold romances, in Mallory’s Morted’Arthur and elsewhere, of valiantknights who in battle or tournamentwore the favor of some lady or even thelady’s sleeve upon their helmets. Theknight simply took the colors, ribbon,handkerchief, or whatever the lady’sfavor might be and twisted it in and out,or over and over the fillet which sur-rounded the joining place of crestand helmet. The accidental re-sult of twinning a favor with aturban of the East produced theconventional torse or crest wreath.As the conventional slashings of thelambrequin hinted at past hard fightingin battle, so the crest wreath hinted atdangerous encounters and services ren-dered to and in the favor of ladies-loveand war being the primary occupationsof the perfect knights of romance. Inconsequence, this device has become afixed and definite part of all heraldicachievements and it is an unalterable

rule in British heraldry that the torseshall be included in the arms and mostoften is of the principal metal and colorof the field. The torse, then, is symbolicof the romantic aspect of group life andstands for the honor and respect whichthe fraternity man has for womanhood.

Many fraternities, however, read intothe torse the fact that the six divisionsrepresent six links in a strong chain offriend- ship and thus thet o r s e often symbolizedt h e spirit of frater-nity, or brotherhood.

The Badge of Delta ChiProper: This is simply agolden Greek- letter Deltas u p e r i m - posed over theGreek-letter Chi of

larger size and often containing in itscentral point the representation of thewhite carnation-the flower of the frater-nity. It carries the connotation of all thata fraternity man holds dear.

Motto: Long before heraldry becamean hereditary institution the motto con-stituted the war cry of the clan, or morespecifically the call of the lord of themanor to his knights. However, when

arms were later granted by the crownto famous and noble families, the mottowas inscribed upon the motto-ribbondisplayed beneath the shield andofttimes represented the ambitions orcharacteristic phrases associated withthose particular families. In Americancollege fraternities the heraldic bearingsoften carry the Greek-letter fraternityname, while in the arms of Delta Chi theLatin word leges is used.

Delta Chi was originally founded bythose who were preparing for the pro-fession of law and it was not until 1918[1923] that the fraternity took on apurely social aspect. And so the motto– leges – hearkening back to the dayswhen law was the aspiration of the ini-tiates, is still used.

The border of the shield is embel-lished with a representation of rivetswhich were used to hold the severallaminations of the shield together thusaffording greater strength in the protec-tion of the knight. While such decora-tion has no official heraldic significance,it does carry the idea that the Delta ChiFraternity affords strong protection to allthose within its bond.

When the fraternityman is once acquainted with thewealth of tradition which liesbehind the coat-of-arms of his

fraternity, and he becomes thor-oughly conversant with the secret sym-bolism therein employed, he cannot butlive a better life and be a better man byofttimes being reminded of it. By associ-ating it with his personal adornment,whether it be on a fraternity ring orcharm, or as a gift from a friend, he is re-minded of the idealism which binds himto his fraternity-a priceless heritage knownonly to the chosen few.

Editor’s Note: The coat of arms shown above appeared on the cover of the Quarterlies printed from the first issue in April 1903 thoughthe February 1905 issue. The fourth quarter of the shield contains a representation of mail that was worn by knights of old. In responseto the 1930 article reprinted here, Roy V. Rhodes, Cornell ’01 wrote that he and his college roommate, Fraser Brown, Cornell ’00 werethe “... co-authors and orginators of the fraternity coat of arms.” He went on to state, “This was in the spring of 1899 and not 1890 asas indicated in Mr. Balfour’s article and I know of no previous coat of arms for the fraternity.” [While not a coat of arms in the normallyaccepted sense, Delta Chi had been using the “Hand and Key” emblem developed by Founder Peter S. Johnson since its first year ofexistence.] Rhodes also stated, “Some slight changes were made a few years later by whom I do not know. I had nothing to do withit and I don’t think Fraser Brown had either. One of these changes was the addition of a lot of what appear to be rivets around the edgesof the shield and which do not, in my opinion, improve the appearance. Another change was the placing of the martlets in profileinstead of from a front view in flight. I believe we adopted the front view because that is the way they are shown on the arms of SirEdward. For practical reasons we omitted the usual helmet and united the crest and helmet in one great insignia of the fraternity –the Greek letters, ∆ and Χ, with the torso between the shield and the crest instead of in its usual position above the helmet.”

A more complete version of Roy V. Rhodes’ 1930 letter may be found under the History section of www.deltachi.org.

South Dakota ColonyOur annual March of

Dimes walk was a learningexperience. The newer mem-bers got to bond with the up-perclassmen all in the inter-est of charity, allowing us tobecome a much closer group.However, the weekend hadonly begun; the followingnight many of the membersvolunteered to set up andclean up after a major concerton campus. This includedloading, unloading, and set-ting up the stage.

Southwest Missouri ColonyWe were paired up with

the ladies of Alpha Delta PiSorority for our first GreekWeek appearance. After par-ticipating in every event andwinning the largest event, theGreek Jam Dance Competi-tion, we won First Place over-all! This inspired ourcolony’s motto for next year,“First Year, First Place.”

Another first we achievedwas in Kappa Sigma’s philan-thropy. Despite our numbers,we donated more clothing thanany other fraternity on campus.

Also, our numbers arevastly improving with one ofthe biggest spring rushes oncampus, during which weinitiated six new members.Rush Chairman PatrickDoran is working on a sum-mer rush to aid us this fall.Also, former “A” Alec Leenow holds office on IFC as theVice-President of Academics.

Syracuse ColonyWhile four brothers drove to

New Orleans to support theUniversity’s basketball team atthe Final Four, several otherspacked into the Carrier Dometo watch the game on a largescreen television with other SUfans. While in New Orleans,our brothers even ran intobrothers from Marquette,showing that the brotherhoodreally is nationwide.

We were also active in thecommunity. Brothers partici-pated for several weekends ina Habitat for Humanity projectthat helped build a house fora single mother in the area.Brothers were responsible forthings like siding, sanding,and painting walls.

TarletonIn February, we held several

brotherhood events, includingdinners, basketball games andcandle-pass. Most of our chap-ter also attended the Region IIILeadership Conference, hostedby the Southwest Texas Chap-ter.

WithApril coming to a close, we helda philanthropy event at the lo-cal foster home where, alongwith a sorority, we held an Eas-ter egg hunt for the kids there.

To end the semester we, in-cluding many of our alumni, at-tended the “15th Annual LarryJoe Taylor Music Festival andChili Cook-off” in Stephenville.

TexasWe decided that the end of

classes did not need to cause theend of brotherhood events forthe active chapter. Decidingthat the summer would be anexcellent opportunity to gathertogether in other cities wheremany of the actives are origi-nally from, the chapter put to-gether a series of eventsspaced out over the summerbreak to keep those not liv-ing in Austin involved. InJune we traveled toGalveston, where we renteda beach house for the week-end. This was the third yearin a row that we have donethis event, and its success hasincreased every year. In Julythe chapter traveled to Dallas,where one of our memberswas gracious enough to lendus his house for the weekend.Barbecuing by the pool alwaysproves to be a good time. In

August, we brought every-body back to Austin for the fi-nal event of the summer.

Tri-StateOnce again, the highlight of

our spring was our AlumniWeekend. This year, nearlyforty alumni returned tomingle with the brothers.

For intramurals, we hadteams for both basketball andvolleyball. In volleyball wemade it to the final tournament.Toward the end of the semester,we held a retreat for the broth-

ers in order to review our se-mester goals and see whatneeded to be improved for nextsemester. The retreat washeaded up by “A” Dave Wertz.To start the retreat, the brotherswent to a local Chinese, buf-fet-style restaurant. Towardthe end of the night, we held around table discussion onchapter pride and other topics.

bers, the highest on campus. Wecurrently have five brothersserving as student senators,three E-board members of theStudent Alumni Association,one on campus crusade, theschool’s Entertainment and Pro-gramming Director, and the Stu-dent Body Vice President.

14 ∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2003

This year we had the firstever Delta Chi Family Weekendand hope to carry on the tradi-tion throughout the years. Inthis year ’s Alumni versusBrothers football game, thebrothers edged out a last sec-ond victory and earned brag-ging rights for the year.

This year ’s Kings Krownphilanthropy raised nearly$60,000. We also won anaward for best philanthropyfor Ally’s Prom Closet.

Virginia CommonwealthWe hosted the Region IX

Leadership Conference withover 130 in attendance. Duringthe regional conference, we hadthree honorary initiates, includ-ing Tim Justice, Vic Routsis,and Anthony Martinez, fortheir continued dedication toDelta Chi. The Regional Lead-ership Conference could nothave been successful withoutthe hard work of MatthewBraydich, Hamoon Hadavand,and all the brothers.

This year was highlighted byhaving the highest G.P.A., ourfirst annual parents’ banquet,and Jeremy Rosen winning Mr.Greek VCU for the fourth yearin a row. We also send ourprayers to Lucas Ecker, who isin service to his country.

West ChesterWith winning the IFC cup,

placing second in Greek Week,and having the largest associatemember class in the spring,Delta Chi at West Chester is onits way back to the top. Work-ing extremely hard with fi-nances, rush, intramurals andfixing up our house, brotherswere seemingly always grin-

ning this year. There has notbeen a day gone by, where oneof us has not been proud to say“I’m a Delta Chi.”

Western Ontario ColonyThe academic year started

with the eight members of Betaclass and another four membersfor the Gamma class in the sec-ond semester. Throughout theyear we held various charityevents for the Alzheimer’s As-sociation and participated invarious social events within theGreek community, such as theAGD Greek games and the Mr.Greek competition held by Al-pha Phi. The Greek games in-clude various events such asSumo Wrestling, Arm Wres-tling, and collecting money forcharity, in which all the frater-nities compete. Delta Chi, dis-playing all our skills and tal-ents, won the title!

The 2003 White CarnationFormal brought together over90 alumni and guests for a spec-tacular night of brotherhood.The night was started with theinitiation of our Gamma classat Toronto’s Courthouse. Thenight then progressed to oneof Toronto’s finest restaurants,The Rosewater.

Our web site has been re-vamped by Rani Hamasni toinclude pictures of all ourevents, a guest book for thealumni and guests, and a sec-tion that allows brothers topurchase our clothing. Thiswill be a great tool for recruit-ment and communicationwith the alumni.

Elliott Chun has accepted aposition at our Headquarters asa Leadership Consultant.

We encourage you to visitour web site at www.deltachiuwo.com.

ALUMNI CHAPTERSArizona Valley

This past October, our petition to establish an AlumniChapter for all alumni living in Arizona was granted!

We wish to keep our chapter focused on fun events for thealumni, wives and families. Please come to an event or at leastkeep in touch. Brotherhood only gets better with graduation!

Our first annual golf classic was sold out and a great suc-cess. We have Cardinals games as well as dinners plannedfor the future. Visit www.azact.com/deltachi to keep in-formed about our events. Congratulations to Harvey Gibson,Arizona State ’02 for winning the Tempe Chamber Volunteerof the Year Award. Great job Joe Benzing, Ferris State ’96and Todd Mastrorilli, Radford ’97 for placing second in TheEvery Kid Counts Celebrity Golf Tournament.

Capitol AreaOn Sunday, April 27, a party of twelve assembled for the

sixth annual “De;ta Chi at the Races” picnic.This year’s event took place at the Middleburg Hunt Point

in the beautiful village of Middleburg, VA. The wonderful scen-ery and perfect weather provided an ideal backdrop for theannual invasion of the hunt country. This event is a tailgate pic-nic on the outside rail of a steeplechase course. The races areheld in the British tradition across a cross county course requir-ing horses and riders to navigate a series of obstacles.

Brothers who participated this year were: Pat Bowling,Johnstown ’81; Pete Korch, Johnstown ’84; Jim LeVan,Johnstown ’80; Mike Magri, Johnstown ’84 and Bill Moran,Stanford ’55. Wives, significant others, and family membersjoined in the festivities as well. The group enjoyed great foodand conversation all day long as the throughbreds jumped fencesat breakneck speed only a few yards away.

A great day was had by all and we are already planninganother event in 2004.
