Symbols
The Pearl, Pine and Pansy
These symbols were chosen to represent the three stages of growth and development in Tri Delta.

The pansy is Tri Delta's flower. It is a symbol of alumnae membership and the third step in the lifetime development of Delta Delta Delta's members.

Tri Delta's Colors
