Celebrating Flag Day

The Delta Zeta flag was displayed last year on the Fourth of July during our 50th National Convention's fun night held at Pedrotti’s North Wind Ranch.

Flag Day is celebrated in the United States on June 14 each year. It is a day that celebrates the adoption of the flag of the United States of America. We thought it might be fun to give our Delta Zeta members a little history of our flag this week in honor of Flag Day.

Did you know that Delta Zeta’s flag, also called a banner, was first displayed at the Sorority’s Golden Jubilee in 1952? The design was created by Ruth Simering, Epsilon – Indiana, and the delegates at the Convention accepted it as our official flag.

The proper description of the Delta Zeta flag is: “The DZ banner shall be made in accordance with the following specifications: standard American flag proportions, 2x3, 3x5, 4x6 with three equal vertical panels of rose, green and rose. The emblems shall be: In the upper third of the first panel, starting from the head is a distaff; in the middle third of second panel is a Roman lamp, and in the lower third of third panel is a scroll.”
