Symbols
 |
|
| The Pearl:
The pearl is the jewel of Tri Delta. It was chosen to symbolize
the new member because it is the one jewel that grows, developing
from a tiny grain of sand into something of great beauty and
value. |
 |
The Pine Tree:
The pine tree is a symbol of Tri Delta's collegiate members
because it represents growth and lofty aspirations. |
 |
The Pansy:
The pansy is Tri Delta's flower. It is the symbol of alumnae
membership and the third step in the lifetime development of
Delta Delta Delta's members. |
 |
The Dolphin:
The dolphin was considered a good omen by the ancient Greeks.
It symbolized rebirth, friendship, and leadership. In Tri Delta
the dolphin is symbolic of clear skies and smooth sailing and
has special significance for Fraternity leaders. |
 |
The Poseidon:
The patron Greek divinity of Tri Delta is Poseidon, god of the
sea and one of the three rulers of the universe. |
Our Colors
Tri Delta's colors are silver, gold, and cerulean blue. Green
is also significant for Tri Delta as it represents the union
of the three colors |
