The House Crest of
Sojourner Truth
The House of Sojourner
Truth strives to be solid,
passionate, and alive. Red
is the color of fortitude or
solidity and is in the shape
of a cross to symbolize our
Christian faith. The
indented lines at the top of
the crest symbolize the city
as well as fire and our
commitment to passion. The
phoenix represents
resurrection and the life we
find in Jesus Christ.
Truth is not only the
name of our House, it is one
of our highest goals. Blue
is the color of truth, not
to mention the color of The
King’s College. Gold is the
color of generosity, another
characteristic we desire to
see in our house.
The wheel encircled by
hooks is the emblem of one
who is prepared to undergo
great trials for the
Christian faith. It is known
as a Catharine Wheel because
St. Catharine was tortured
with such a wheel before her
execution. The ladies of the
House of Truth are committed
to following Christ and to
withstand any trials that
arise.
The King’s College
educates leaders to become
influential in strategic
national institutions. A
centaur signifies one who is
eminent in his field. We are
in preparation to achieve
success in our field of
choice and, doing so, to
influence those already in
influential positions.
The word “veritas” means
truth in Latin and reminds
us of our namesake and our
goal.
