The Pearl is Tri Delta's jewel, it represents the new member because it is the one jewel that grows; developing from a tiny grain of sand into a thing of great value and beauty.
The Pansy symbolizes alumnae membership and the third step in a member's lifetime development.
The Pine is symbolic of the collegiate member because it exemplifies growth as well as lofty aspirations.
