Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Beta Kappa
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Any derivative work based upon the logo would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	I cropped the original image substantially. After removing artifacts and color correcting, I reduced it further in size to about 40% of the original.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution image of an organization's logo in the article about that organization will not impact the commercial viability of the logo.
Other information	The original image can be found in the Cincinnatian yearbook for 1933, p.212.
