COLORADO Delta Gamma

           

 

 

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

Cream RoseThe 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 Colors

The Fraternity Colors are bronze pink and blue.

Fraternity Seal

The Fraternity seal is used on by Fraternity officers for the official papers of the Fraternity.

Fraternity Crest

CrestThe 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.
