On October 23, 1906, George Kelley proposed that the organization be known by the Greek letters Alpha Phi Alpha, and Robert Ogle proposed the colors black and old gold. The divisive issue of whether the terms club or fraternity should be used was still debated.

Until 1906 when the current badge was adopted, each member went to the jeweler of her choice to have her pin designed. Most chose similar designs using the lazy Phi, a Phi symbol turned on its side.lpha Phi was the first women's organization to use Greek letters as an emblem. Originally there was no standard badge.
