== Symbols == The badge of Delta Sigma Pi is a skull and crossbones, superimposed on a wreath of leaves. The letters '''{{lang|grc|Ξ}}''', '''{{lang|grc|Ξ£}}''', and '''{{lang|grc|Ξ }}''' are inscribed on the skull, set with amethyst eyes, a crown on top highlighted in red lacquer, often enhanced with surrounding pearls.<ref name="Baird's" /> The colors of Delta Sigma Pi are old gold and royal purple.<ref name="Baird's" /> The red rose was adopted as the flower of Deltasig at the first Board of Directors meeting in 1921. It was primarily the gift given to the wives and courted women of Deltasig brothers (which at the time was still all male). One of the founding members, Harold V. Jacobs, suggested a rose as the official fraternity flower because his wife loved roses and it was also her first name (Rose Jacobs). Five years later, in 1926, Jacobs also suggested that the song currently sung at LEAD schools and Grand Chapter Congress events, ''Rose of Deltasig'' be adopted as the official song of the fraternity.<ref>Noted by Los Ellis via the official Deltasig website and Central Office archives in Oxford, Ohio.</ref> In 1911 the fraternity published its first newsletter, which soon would be named ''The Deltasig''.
