COLORS - The colors of Delta Kappa Gamma are crimson and gold. Crimson is for the courage which must mark those who achieve success and attain leadership in our profession. Gold is for faith and loyalty, which we pledge to our fellow members and to the high ideals of our Society. _________________________________________________________________________
Our flower is the red rose, a fitting emblem of mature womanhood and of the beauty of mind and spirit which ennobles the true teacher and friend of youth. The red rose is the official flower used in all Society ceremonies and at special occasions. *descriptions are taken from the "Ceremonies" handbook
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.
Our key is a golden ellipse. Across its center are the Greek letters for Delta Kappa Gamma. Above them a wreath of laurel leaves symbolizes the distinction which those who wear this key have achieved and must continue to deserve. Below the letters is a cup of knowledge, which we hold to the lips of youth.
