I wear my Stars and
Crescent badge because it reminds me of Tri Delta’s founders, young college
women who designed a beautiful piece of jewelry that carries with it the full
meaning of Delta Delta Delta. Whenever I wear my badge, I remember all of those
Tri Deltas who have educated me, encouraged me, supported me and stood beside
me as I served as an officer in my collegiate chapter, as a volunteer and as an
elected officer of the Fraternity. Even though several of these women are no
longer with us, they continue to be an influence on me. My badge reminds me of
all of those friends from my collegiate chapter who I truly cherish and all of
those steadfast friends I have made as an alumna member who I cannot imagine my
life without. Tri Delta’s badge is uniform; all members have the exact same
badge. When Tri Deltas gather together, all are wearing the identical Stars and
Crescent. It represents the full impact of the bond of sisterhood, where age
has no relevance, where the understanding of shared values and commitment to
one another is what matters. It is a symbol of true friendship, the kind of
friendship where women support each other, stand by each other in good times
and bad, are considerate, kind and loving. All of that within a simple gold
crescent with three stars!

I believe that it is a
privilege to wear the diamond-shaped badge of Alpha Delta Pi, and each time I
wear it, I am reminded of the values established by our founders in 1851. By
embracing these values, I have been enabled to become a well-balanced woman and
inspired to do my best in whatever I undertake.
