This Stars and Crescent badge belonged to Emma Dorcas Shelton, Boston University.
One of a number of badges designed for members of Alpha Chapter at Boston University who were initiated between 1880 and 1906, this badge was created prior to standardization and features an unusual style.
This badge consists of three stars, crown set with pearls, within a gold crescent of three hundred degrees bearing three deltas with hollow centers in black enamel. Twelve additional pearls are set within the crescent.
