Alpha Chi's national colors are scarlet red and olive green. These colors were chosen by our founders to symbolize or autumnal founding.

The national symbol is the Greek Musical instrument, the Lyre, in keeping both with our interests as a Greek organization and our founders' love for music.

Alpha-The first letter of the Greek alphabet, because we're the first fraternity in the school of music.
Kai-meaning "and", added to form the beginning and the end. "Kai" was soon changed to "Chi".
Omega-The founders thought they might also be founding the last such fraternity.

Our Symphony was written in 1914 by Celia McClure a member of the Delta chapter of Alpha Chi Omega.

To see beauty even in the common things in life,
To shed the light of love and friendship round me,
To keep my life in tune with the world that I shall make no discords in the harmony of life,
To strike on the lyre of the world only the notes of happiness, of joy, of peace,
To appreciate every little service rendered
To see and appreciate all that is noble in another be her badge what it may
And to let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity.
This is to be my Symphony.
~Celia McClure, 1914
