Symbols
representing Gamma Sigma Sigma are significant to the design of
the official Membership Pin. The triangle background signifies the
foundation of equality and friendship leading up to the point representing
service. The shield containing the Greek letters indicate the protection
of membership in Gamma Sigma Sigma. The symbols are the STAFF for
service, the WHITE ROSE for friendship and the Greek letter OMICRON
for equality.

The
Coat of Arms is one of the most important symbols of our sorority.
The arms, or SHIELD, of Gamma Sigma Sigma as used by a member stands
for the protection afforded by membership. Maroon is the color of
the shield and symbolizes loyalty. The SCALES stand for equality
and justice. The STAR represents the three attributes of perfect
fraternal friendship - loyalty, integrity, and valor. The CHEVRON
represents service to one's fellow man. The CREST is the design
above the shield. The TWISTED RIBBON stands for the inspiration
of high ideals of the sorority. The two CLASPED HANDS and the GLOBE
stand for friendship all over the world. The SCROLL beneath the
shield bears the name of Gamma Sigma Sigma in Greek.
