The crest of Rho Epsilon Pi is adapted from the shield of Wesleyan University, with a field of red covered by a white cross. The two upper fields of red outlined by the cross each contain the image of a cardinal, the mascot of Wesleyan University, which also serves as the mascot of the sorority. The two lower fields each hold the image of the rose, the flower of the sorority. Together, these two symbols merge to form the “Cardinal Rose” which shows the cardinal directions. The scallop shells that normally adorn the Wesleyan shield as a symbol of pilgrimage have been replaced by a central image of “The Compass Rose” which is the symbol of the sorority and acts as a reminder of the moral compass that guides each member. Two chevrons, reminiscent of the double-chevroned oars of the Wesleyan crew team, pointed oppositely adorn the top of the crest and bear the sorority’s Greek letters.
