 Our
Mascot:
Lions
have always been a part of our history and are also shown on our
Coat of Arms. Our mascot, which we affectionately call “Sir
Fidel,” is a name adapted from our open motto, Les Soeurs
Fideles. Sir Fidel was created in 1973.

Our Flower:
The Rose Carnation. While the
rose carnation in the language of flowers means “friendship,”
Lillian Estes (Davis), Grand Historian 1907-1908 wrote that
“pink carnations are, and always have been, the emblematic
flower.” |
 Our
Badge:
The Phi Mu Badge is a uniquely
shaped shield of gold overlaid with a black shield bearing the
two bonds, three stars, hand clasping a heart and the Greek
letters “Phi Mu.” Sarah Amelia Bardwell (Wright) designed the
first badge in 1852.

 Our
Coat of Arms:
Designed in 1904 by Annie
Laurie Mallory (Parker), Alpha, and assisted by Louise
Monning (Elliott), Alpha.

Our Symbol:
The quatrefoil is Phi Mu’s symbol. The
quatrefoil is a very unique shape and can be traced back to early
European design.
|
|
Our Colors: Rose and
White. This choice can be dated back to the early days of the Philomathean Society and were most likely chosen by the charter members.
The Mississippi Phi Mus also claims the ladybug as their
mascot.
