The Roman Legion was one of the strongest and most stable army of its time. The complex stature and developed workforce of the legion helped make it one of the strongest armies in the history of the world. The different units of legionary soldiers and the many army officers, together helped create a powerful military.

[A Roman legionnaire occupies Alpha Delta Phi] In a tragic, if predictable, turn of events, the Roman Legion has invaded Greek societies across campus. Slaying the Interfraternity Council and pillaging several local houses, the Legion seems impervious to the best attempts of the Greek society to repel them. During the most recent skirmish the Greeks were once again routed by the Legion.

The Roman Legion was probably the most magnificent fighting unit the world has ever seen. The secret of its invincibleness lay in the marvellous spirit of its members. The soldier had to merge his personality in that of the Legion to which he belonged. An unquestioning obedience to his commanding officer was demanded, such that he was expected to obey "ad nutum", that is "at the nod", irrespective of the merits of the officer or of the soldier's personal likes or dislikes. There might be no grumbling if promotion did not come and if resentment happened to be felt it might not be allowed to appear either in word or deed. Hence all moved together as one man, because directed by a common purpose, each bound to the leader and to one another.

The Vexillum Legionis is an adaptation of the standard of the Roman Legion. The eagle which surmounted the standard is replaced by the Dove, the emblem of the Holy Spirit. Beneath the Dove a cross-bar bears the inscription "Legio Mariae" (Legion of Mary). Intermediate between cross-bar and staff (and joined to the former by a rose and a lily) is an oval frame bearing a representation of the Immaculate Conception (the Miraculous Medal). The staff is set in a globe which, for use on a table, stands on a square base. The whole design conveys the idea that the world is to be conquered by the Holy Spirit acting through Mary and her children.
