McDonald House Support of the Hoosier Salon College Scholarships Gifted and talented programs at Purdue University, Indiana State University, Rose-Hulman, and the Indiana Academy at Ball State University. Symbolism and traditions At inception, the organization chose crossed keys, a triangle and the white carnation as symbols. The crossed keys are the predominant symbol used on the organization's pledge pin today, which remains a rectangular gold badge, while the keys, triangle and carnation are used on the official member badge. The member badge may be observed with variants of the organization's three jewels at the triangle's corners, either ruby, sapphire or pearl. Following this early symbolism, the name of the organization's magazine is Cross Keys.
