The Fraternity symbols were chosen because they appealed to the Founders. Shirley Cohen Laufer chose the Sphinx because it is a mythological figure of mystery and secrecy for women. The American Beauty Rose was selected because of its statuesque beauty, and the balance of its sharp thorns and soft petals. Fay Chertkoff, Gwen Zaliels Snyder, and Estelle Melnick Cole literally locked themselves in a room together to write the first ritual. Gwen Zaliels Snyder designed the familiar sapphire-eyed Sphinxhead pin.
The first National Song was called “The Hymn” and was written by Pearl S. Lippman (Alpha, ’21) and her husband, Arthur. Our official hymn, the Liebestraum, is based on Franz Liszt’s original composition, Liebestraume.
