OUR CADENCY:
|
Alpha Rho Chi’s practice of naming chapters after ancient architects, combined with the use of cadency marks, lends each chapter a distinct and vibrant identity within the national fraternity. Alpha Rho Chi’s founding chapters, Anthemios and Iktinos share the heraldic label for the ÀUVWERUQ. The A label represents a fringed piece of fabric that the eldest son would, during the lifetime of his father, bear the family arms with. Upon his father’s death, the son would remove the label and inherit his father’s arms. The Anthemios Chapter calls their symbol the A Label Dexter. |
