The illustration of the Alpha Gamma Delta pin is incorrect -- could it be imperfect color printing? The heraldic description is, "On a shield, parti per pale, or and vert, a fess gules" -- translation: "On a shield, divided in half (gold and green), a red crossbar."
Perhaps it was originally just red and green, but founder Emily Butterfield actually wrote the book on fraternity heraldry and I can't imagine that she would have omitted the buff (yellow).
The size of the pin changed during my collegiate years. The old ones were tiny (3/8" or so). The new (current) ones are about 5/8".
