About Psi Upsilon
Heraldry of the Nu Chapter

Arms - Or, A small beaver clutching an olive branch vert; and on a chief of sable, two dexter hands hand-in-hand in fess between the Greek capital letters Psi and Upsilon, the former on the dexter, the latter on the sinister, of the first. The laurel wreath symbolizes victory, while the lamp symbolises wisdom or knowledge. The beaver signifies both persistence and industry and the Chapter's Canadian roots. The olive branch signifying piece is very appropriate as this chapter was granted membership just after the close of the first World War.

Crest - on a wreath an owl argent

Motto - "We have conquered" or "We are victorious" as translated from the Greek; presented gules on a scroll argent
