Fraternity Original Badge |
The original badge of our Founders was the letter "H". This symbolized Hope, which was our Founders' watchword. |
New Fraternity Badge |
Only
initiated members wear the official badge of the Fraternity. In 1877
the "H" badge changed to an anchor, which is the traditional symbol for
hope. |
New Member Pin |
Women
who are pledged to join, but who are not yet initiated wear the new
member pin. The white shield has the Greek letters Pi Alpha inscribed
on it. This shield is the suggested Fraternity badge and will be
exchanged for the badge upon initiation. |
Fraternity Flower |
The
cream-colored rose has been loved by Delta Gammas since its selection
as the official Fraternity flower at the third Convention in 1885. It
is special to us, both for its beauty and its association with joyful
Delta Gamma memories: clutching a long stem nervously during preference
parties, receiving a perfect blossom during Initiation or reminiscing
over fragrant centerpieces at Founders Day. |

Fraternity Crest |
The
crest of Delta Gamma has special meaning to its members. The colors of
the crest are cream for the rose at the apex of the crest; gold for the
three, five five-pointed stars on the shield, the rope around the
shield and outline of the scroll ribbon; burnt maize for the flanking
ornaments of the rose and the Greek letters, Tau Delta Eta; blue for
the lower two-thirds of the shield; green for the upper third and
center section of the shield and the leaves of the rose; and rose for
the Greek letters Delta Gamma which appear on the center section. |
