Here's a fact for July 24, 2001:
Alpha Gamma Delta has actually had two badges. Our first badge--as it was worn on the day of our Founding--was a monogram with the Alpha chased on the bottom, the Gamma plain in the middle, and the Delta on top set in pearls. If you can envision it, it was basically backwards from what our badge is today.
Our Founders so disliked it that they commissioned jeweler J.F. Newman to come up with several new designs. The new badge was selected by Alpha on November 19, 1904. That badge was the one we all know, love, and wear proudly to this day.
