Our unofficial mascot is the panda bear, as it is the only animal that does not have any natural enemies. The fraternity philanthropy is Arthritis Research & Juvenile Arthritis. "One motto, one badge, one bond, and singleness of heart!" - AOII has no insignia or crest, but uses our badge as our symbol to the outside world. The founders reasoned that the Fraternity should adhere to ancient Greek ideals, and not Medieval ones of crests, shields, and other symbols. |
