the shield is the Quill. Three conventional roses are at the top of the shield,
and a broken sword is in the lower portion of the shield. Above the shield
on the knight's helmet is a twist of ribbon in alternating blue and gold, and
a blossomed rose.

dark) and gold.
Flower-The Fraternity flower is the pink rose, as chosen by our
Founders.
New Member Pin-Alpha Xi Deltas wear this pin during their new
member period.
Colony Pin-The colony pin is used in place of the new member pin
for founding members of a colony. A new chapter of Alpha Xi Delta is
called a colony during its initial pledging period.
Quill-The Quill, which is worn by initiated members of Alpha Xi
Delta, represents our open motto "The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword."
The Fraternity has a recognition Quill, which is a miniature Quill that may
be worn on coats, suits or other appropriate outer clothing where the badge
may not be appropriate. Learn more about the history of the Quill.
