OUR MOTTO

This is exemplified by the fraternity’s motto:
Fidelitas, Amor et Artes or “Fidelity and Love of the Arts.”

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. As Alpha Rho Chi’s founding chapters, Anthemios and Iktinos share the heraldic label for the ÀUVWERUQ A label represents a fringed piece of fabric the elder son would use to difference his father’s arms. In theory, upon his father’s death, the son would remove the label and inherit his father’s arms |
OUR COLORS
A ladder of colors link the deep, traditional navy and maroon that form the basis of the azure and sanguine on the fraternity’s arms to brighter, dynamic shades of red and blue as well as other supporting shades.
