Sorority Symbolism

Every sorority organization has their own set of beliefs, values, and symbols. A sorority's heritage says a lot about who they are today, and every symbol is chosen carefully to reflect that. Symbols and mascots are a fun way to show your sorority pride, so we've put together a list of each of our 19 sororities' symbols, colors, and mascots. Look through our sorority products  to find new and cute ways to show your Greek pride.
