Chi Rho (disambiguation)

Chi Rho are the first two letters (chi = ch and rho = r) in the Greek spelling of the word Christ (Greek: "Χριστός" ), and so have come to be used for a number of usages.

  • The two letters can be superimposed to produce the monogram (), which is one of the earliest Christograms (see Chi Rho monogram).
  • The name Chi Rho is also used to indicate the Labarum, a military banner of Roman emperors, which exhibited the monogram since Constantine I's time.
  • The letters are used by Chi Rho, a Christian Co-Ed Service Fraternity, started at Texas Tech University.
  • Chi Rho is the name of the men's acapella group at Wake Forest University.
