A polished purple semi-precious rune stone left blank as the symbol for the unknowable or destiny, worn by members of the Coterie of the Quill to identify themselves as members of the group. The stone was accompanied by a handwritten note 'Coterie of the Quill, Rune 1995-1996, members bought runes to make necklaces - this is the blank rune called the "unknowable" and it is the rune of destiny.' and a photocopied worksheet explaining the different Viking rune symbols.

The Delta Nu Pledge Class Paddle for 1995 is made out of wood. Attached to the handle is a green chord but the handle itself is white with the year "1995" in light green lettering surrounded by dark green ivy. The paddle itself is a rainbow going in reverse order. At the top off the paddle is a purple octopus holding a light blue flag with "FALL PLEDGE CLASS" and it is also holding a black infinity sign. Below the octopus is the Greek letters for the sorority but between them is a yellow rose. At the very bottom of the paddle is a black cauldron with a pig, enguin, rabbit, and a duck inside. In the front of the cauldron is a lamb and a chick. Behind the cauldron in the center is a bear - to the left of the bear is an elephant and to the right of the bear is Mufasa from The Lion King.
