The open motto is "Founded on a rock."
“Knowledge is the light of life” is the secret motto of Gamma Phi Beta and it is never to be written or spoken above a whisper. The 3 letters, ΓΦβ, each represent a Greek Word. Gamma is the initial letter of the Greek word “gnosis for “Knowledge” or “education”; Phi is the initial letter of the Greek word “philios” meaning “love” or “friendship”; Beta is the initial letter of the Greek word “bios” meaning “life”. When combined it forms the secret motto and signifies Gamma Phi Beta's core values of “Love, Labor, Learning, and Loyalty”. Essentially— that education and friendship constitute the basis of a full and happy life.
“Love In ΠKE” is used as a signature when corresponding with other initiated Gamma Phi Beta members. Instead of just saying love you, Gamma Phi's write this acronym to express the importance that they are more than just friends; they are sisters in love and light.
The Crest has many individual components, including the Oil Lamp of Wisdom, Signature Book, Crescent Moon, Greek letters and Pink Carnations.
The Greek Oil Lamp of Wisdom on the top of the crest represents the fire or light these women have for Knowledge and Education.
The Book in the upper right of the Crest represents the ‘eternal book’ where every sister signs her name to be initiated into the halls of Gamma Phi Beta.
The Sorority symbol (bottom right on the crest) is the Waxing Crescent Moon which represents the growth of the Sorority's membership on the chapter and international level.
Underneath the crest, a ribbon displays the Greek letters separated by four dots “•Γ•Φ•β•” for the four founders.
The 3 Pink Carnations with 4 leaves represent the 3 stages of Sorority Life (Pledge, Active, Alumni) and the 4 leaves represent the founders.
The secret handshake is completed by each sister extending the right pointer finger onto the other sister's wrist.
On the Gamma Phi Beta Badge, one of the ‘symbols' is the Hebrew word "ארבע". This is the Hebrew word for "four". Representing the four founders (Helen M. Dodge, Frances E. Haven, Adeline Curtis, Mary A. Bingham) of the sorority the Hebrew alphabet letters read from right to left, ALEPH DALET VET AYIN. The non-Latin characters in the mark transliterate to "ARBA" and this means "FOUR" in English.
