Symbols:

AOII is the only fraternity to not have a crest, because we were founded on Greek ideals and not Roman. We use our infinity rose in place of a crest. The rose ties together several important symbols and values of our organization: the Jacqueminot Rose which is our Fraternity Flower, the concept of forever, and the number four. Our Fraternity jewel is the Ruby and our mascot is the Panda.
