The Delta Kappa Gamma International Symbols
The Delta Kappa Gamma key is a golden ellipse. Across its center are the Greek letters which symbolize Delta Kappa Gamma. Above them is a wreath of laurel leaves symbolizing the distinction that those who wear this key have achieved. Below the letters is a cup which represents knowledge. The keypin is worn in a vertical position over the heart; international, state and chapter presidents’ pins are worn directly below the keypin.
Our coat of arms consists of a red shield with a band of gold. Three Tudor roses on the band symbolize the Society’s ideals of friendship, loyalty, and helpfulness. The flaming lamp and the open book on the shield signify scholarship and knowledge. The laurel sprays are the traditional symbols of achievement.
