Phi Gamma Delta is one of the few Greek-letter organizations in North America to limit the written display of its
Greek letters.
[32] In accordance with the fraternity's international bylaws, Fiji chapters and members only portray their letters in the following seven locations:
[33]- On a uniform diamond-shaped member badge
- On the Fraternity's official seal
- On the Fraternity's official flag
- On a chapter house marker
- On memorials to deceased brothers
- On a brother's certificate of membership
- On a brother's official college ring
The fraternity's letters are, thus, considered sacred and are never to be displayed on an object that can be easily destroyed. Whereas other fraternities often display their letters on clothing or other items, this tradition prevents Fijis from doing so. In place of the actual Greek letters, "Fiji," "Phi Gam," or the English spelling of "Phi Gamma Delta" are used in their place.
