The crest for Delta Zeta was originally drawn by one of the early members. In the early 1930s the crest was changed because stationery engravers and jewelers complained that the original crest was too difficult to produce and that it did not follow the rules of heraldry. In this century, it has been changed again. The modern version is simpler, shorter, and uses the sorority colors instead of the colors adopted to conform to heraldry.
