The Pledge Pin is a circular black emblem bearing a gold solid right triangle of the same proportions as the badge. The pledge pin is worn on shirts and sweaters, but when a coat is worn it should appear on the lapel. The altitude of the triangle should always be vertical. The Seal of Acacia is circular, 2-1/8 inches in diameter. The coat of arms appears in the center, and around the sides and tip of the rim are the words, “Grand Seal Acacia Fraternity.” At the bottom, “Founded 1904” is inscribed. Paper indicia of membership: Each initiated member of the Fraternity receives a large membership certificate, the shingle, bearing a gold Acacia seal and suitable for framing, and an identification card bearing the initiate’s name, chapter, chapter roll number and date of initiation. The card is embellished with the Acacia seal and is signed by the Executive Director. On the back of the card is a coded message that the bearer must be able to decipher in order to prove his membership. The Flag of Acacia is composed of three cloth panels, the outer panels gold and the center panel black. On the black panel appears the coat of arms with “Acacia” spelled in Old English lettering over it. The flag is for use outdoors. The Banner of Acacia measures 3 feet by 5 feet and is made of heavy, gold colored silk. In the four corners, beginning with the upper left and going clockwise, are embroidered the coat of arms, the badge, a sprig of Acacia, and the pledge pin. Across the center of the banner in large, black, Old English letters is spelled ACACIA. The banner is only for use indoors. 25
