Tri Delta is the only NPC sorority, and the only GLO that I know of, to use the dolphin as mascot.
It is one of the few NPC sororities to use its mascot since the the beginning of the sorority's history. (For those of us Tri Delts who were looking for the answer of when we adopted the use of the dolphin, I found it -- it was an unofficial symbol of the sorority from the beginning, and Sarah Ida Shaw used it in jewelry she gave to the national officers and the editor of the Trident.
As far as I know we are the only sorority to use our jewel, the pearl, not only as a jewel but as a symbol. (I know other sororities have symbolic meanings behind their jewels, but the jewel isn't used as a symbol associated with that group per se.)
For a while we were the only NPC sorority to have a policy preventing discrimination on sexual orientation -- now Phi Sigma Sigma has joined us.
We are the only GLO I know of that uses Poseidon as a patron.

Alpha Delta Pi was the First Secret Society founded for women...it was known as the Adelphean Society! Also, our jewel is a diamond and we use it for other reasons besides being our jewel. One example is we call our big and little sisters Diamond Sisters....another is that our badges our diamond shaped.
