Phi Mu Insignia
Badge
The Phi Mu Badge is a unique barbed quatrefoil shield of gold overlaid with a black shield bearing the two bonds, three stars, a hand clasping a heart and the Greek letters “Phi Mu.”
Phi Pin
The Phi Pin (or New Member pin) is a black and gold shield with the Greek Letter “Phi.”
Symbol
The quatrefoil is Phi Mu’s symbol. The quatrefoil is a very unique shape and can be traced back to early European design.
Coat Of Arms
Designed in 1904 by Annie Laurie (Mallory) Parker, Alpha, and assisted by Louise (Monning) Elliott, Alpha.
Flower
Phi Mu’s official flower is the rose-colored, enchantress carnation. While the rose-colored carnation in the language of flowers refers to “women’s love and sisterhood,” Lillian Estes Davis, Alpha, Grand Historian in 1907-1908, wrote that “pink carnations are, and always have been, the emblematic flower.”
Mascot
Lions have always been a part of our history and are also shown on our Coat of Arms. Our mascot, which we affectionately call “Sir Fidel,” is a name adapted from our open motto, Les Soeurs Fideles. Sir Fidel was created in 1973.
Colors
Rose and White. This choice can be dated back to the early days of the Philomathean Society and was most likely chosen by the charter members.
