I love the elegant simplicity of our crescent, and like our colors, I like that it is ours alone in the NPC world - of course, some fraternities have crescents, too.
Delta Delta Delta also includes the crescent as official insignia. Granted, it is not a waxing crescent moon.



Official Insignia

Three golden stars, crown set with pearls, within a gold crescent of three hundred degree bearing three deltas in black enamel is the official badge of the Fraternity. Tri Delta initiates receive a Stars and Crescent Badge with her 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.
