"The pearl is the jewel of Tri Delta. It was chosen to symbolize the new member because it is the one jewel that grows, developing from a tiny grain of sand into a thing of great value and beauty."
Wow. A few years ago, the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation campaign leading up to the Centennial Convention included a video that included the following:
"A single grain of sand...becomes a Pearl of great worth."

Wear the pearls if it makes you comfortable and you enjoy wearing them. Just don't go around saying, "I wear pearls because I know its your symbol and I love EVERYTHING about XZY" or something like that.

If a PNM's signature piece is, let's say, an emerald encrusted nautilus shell brooch pierced with a gold dagger, or a charm bracelet that alternates green and pink turtles with golden lamps, then it might be a little sketchy.
A strand of pearls is always acceptable. Good luck with recruitment!
The pearl isn't my sorority's official jewel but a lot of our girls (including myself) love to wear pearls! I think pearls are classy and if it's something that you wear everyday then go for it!

co-sign. Actives are keenly aware of symbols and not so worked up about jewels.
