"Well, I don't care just as long as I'm there
With the people that I like best.
Green, green ivy and forget-me-nots,
Silver and bordeaux on our crest."
From Green, Green

The Alpha Phi Crest
 The Alpha Phi coat-of-arms or crest was adopted by Convention delegates in 1922. The shield is bordeaux with a scroll and ivy leaf above it. Inscribed on the scroll is our public motto, "Union hand in hand." A bar of silver crosses the shield from left to right; the upper half of the shield contains a Roman lamp in silver and the lower half, Ursa Major.
The meaning of the symbols depicted on the crest is a significant part of the ritual witnessed at initiation. The use of the Fraternity crest is reserved for jewelry, sportswear and other Fraternity equipment befitting the dignity and honor of Alpha Phi's heritage.
