It merged with Phi Alpha Delta officially on August 12, 1972 at the end of the conventions in San Diego from August 9–12, 1972.
Symbols and traditions
Phi Delta Delta's publication was The Phi Delta Delta.
The colors of the organization were Old rose and violet. Similarly, the official flowers were the Rose and Violets.
The badge was shield shaped, flat on the top, with an anagram of the Greek letters Φ, Δ and Δ, grouped so that the two Deltas appeared as the twin pans of a balance scale. [4]
