Delta Kappa Gamma Symbols
The colors of Delta Kappa Gamma are crimson and gold--red for courage and gold for loyalty to our members and to the ideals of our Society. Our flower is the red rose, a beautiful creation from nature that reflects beauty of the mind and spirit.
Our key is a golden ellipse. Across its center are the Greek letters. Above them a wreath of laurel leaves symbolizes the distinction which those who wear this key have achieved. Below the letters is a cup which represents knowledge.
Our coat of arms consists of a red shield with a band of gold. Three Tudor roses on the band symbolize the Society's ideals of beauty of the spirit, tradition of loyalty, and dedication to excellence. The flaming lamp and the open book on the shield signify scholarship and knowledge. The laurel sprays are the traditional symbols of achievement.
