Anchor Symbol. An anchor is a heavy weight that holds a ship in place. Remaining firm and steadfast amid the uncertainty of storms and the elements, an anchor symbolizes such concepts as firmness, tranquility and hope.
The anchor is the most widely recognized symbol of Delta Gamma Fraternity. The original badge of our Founders was the letter H.. This symbolized hope, which was our Founders' watchword. Only initiated members wear the official badge of the Fraternity. In 1877, the H badge changed to an anchor, which is the traditional symbol for hope. Women who are pledged to join, but who are not yet initiated, wear the new member pin. The white shield has the Greek letters Pi Alpha inscribed on it.
