Coat of Arms
The coat-of-arms of Alpha Omega was designed and officially adopted at the 1918 convention in Philadelphia. This coat-of-arms is symbolic of the ideals of our fraternity. It is formed around a shield, in the upper right-hand comer of which is the six-pointed star called the Star of David, together with the Hebrew letters transliterated as "Ramach' which indicate the Jewish character of the organization. In the lower right-hand comer is placed a book with a microscope, representing a search for knowledge. In the upper left-hand comer is placed a lighted vessel, significant of the quest for wisdom. This is symbolic of the ancient days of chivalry. In the lower left-hand comer are placed the scales representing justice. In the center of the shield is placed a replica of the fraternity pin and the wreath surrounding the whole is significant of peace and brotherhood. In the lower portion of the crest is a parchment upon which are written our motto "Harmonia, Amore et Veritas," Harmony, Love and Truth, characteristic of the activities of Alpha Omega.
