The colors of Alpha Xi Delta are double blue (light and dark) and gold. The fraternity flower is the pink rose, as chosen by the Founders to complement the white rose of Sigma Nu fraternity whose brothers helped to found Alpha Xi Delta at Lombard College. The mascot is a teddy bear, the official mascot is named BetXi Bear. Each initiated member wears the golden quill (the official symbol), which is depicted in the Alpha Xi Delta crest and represents the Alpha Xi Delta open motto "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword." Both the pearl and the diamond are the official jewels.

I was at the library with my boyfriend and as I had nothing to do I looked up the old baird's manuals, the latest being in 1960 something. Anyway it looks that besides the 11 they have now and Theta I believe we have had....
Alpha Xi Delta - Alpha Alpha Chapter in 1918 to 1935(?)
Beta Sigma Omicron - Alpha Tau chapter 1930-1964 (merged with Zeta)
Phi Mu - Beta Theta in 1920-1933(?)
Phi Sigma Sigma - Iota - 1924 or 1923
Pi Beta Phi - (this was listed diff. than the others) Pennsylvania Delta 1918-1931(?)
Zeta Tau Alpha - Chi - 1915 -?
as far as theta nu xi moxie, I haven't heard anything yet.
Now that you mention it, fire1977, I know that Alpha Xi Delta WAS on one of Pitt's "other" campuses - I think Johnstown. I had a good friend who transfered to main campus, and was crushed to be out of the sorority loop!
The others, well, that's just cool! Is Baird's still published? I've only ever seen the ancient copy we used to have.
And, to those who wanted a copy of the floor plan, I wasn't able to scan it properly. If someone has a fax number, I'll fax it to you."
