<p>[QUOTE="JSnow, post: 193791, member: 3573"]Is there anyway you can post a full picture of the entire photo? I would really appreciate it. I can also add a little more info to the discussion. The reason that the Beta Theta Pi crest is modified on this picture is that Beta, unlike other fraternities, encouraged chapters to use their own specific variances on the Beta Theta Pi national crest. It is detailed on page 7 of this book from 1910. <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=loc.ark:/13960/t7dr3s31h;view=1up;seq=3;size=200" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=loc.ark:/13960/t7dr3s31h;view=1up;seq=3;size=200" rel="nofollow">https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=loc.ark:/13960/t7dr3s31h;view=1up;seq=3;size=200</a> The device in the upper left hand corner is the lamp of knowledge upon two books. The Greek motto translates to "a lamp unto my feet", a Biblical reference. Hope this helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
