BULL CHAPTER logo:
The Minoan Bull head represents vigor, power, and the agility used by the bull-leapers in ancient Crete. Crete is also the south-most part of Greece.
The Vergina Sun above the bull's head is a symbol of ancient Macedon, and the emblem of Philip's II (Alexander the Great's father) Argead dynasty. It was used on the ancient hoplite's shields and also in decorative art as early as 7th Century BCE. Macedonia is the north-most part of Greece.
Therefore the Logo represents the north-most and south-most part of Greece with reference to the ancient civilizations of the Greek country.
The motto of the Chapter is: "Blood makes you related, Loyalty makes you Family" and "Non Serviam et Cedo Nulli".
