"One motto, one badge, one bond, and singleness of heart!"

AOII has no insignia or crest. The founders reasoned that the Fraternity should adhere to ancient Greek ideals. It was different people in a later time - the middle ages - that produced the crests, shields, and other symbols of herald. We are truly Greek.
