Phi Gamma Delta Insignia and Traditions

The Official Seal

The Fraternity's Official Seal dates to the 1860s and reflects the badge, plus a handshake and book. Prior to 1925, when this was adopted, Phi Gamma Delta used the early representation of the seal: a closed book, upon which were two clasped hands, and above which were the Greek letters, Phi Gamma Delta, respectively perioded, and emanating from such in every direction were sunrays, or rays of light. The open motto of the Fraternity was inscribed there under the Latin words, "Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter."
