This is the official emblem worn by initiated members of Delta Delta Delta, both collegiate and alumnae. The badge consists of three stars, crown set with pearls, within a plain Roman golden crescent of three hundred degrees bearing three deltas in black enamel. Tri Delta inititates receive a Stars and Crescent badge with the member's initials, the Greek letters of her chapter, and her chapter initiation number engraved on the back. The badge belongs to Tri Delta and is lent to each member during her lifetime or as long as she remains a member..
The pearl was chosen to symbolize the new member because it is the one jewel that grows, developing from a tiny nucleus into a thing of value and beauty.
	The pine was chosen to represent the collegiate member.
The pansy is symbolic of our alumnae and is the third step in the lifetime development of Delta Delta Delta members.
	The patron of Greek divinity is Poseidon, god of the sea and one of the three rulers of the universe.
The dolphin in symbolic of "clear skies and smooth sailing" and has special significance for the Fraternity's elected officers.
	The flag was adopted by the 1906 Convention.
