The key was adopted as the sorority's symbol at its founding. The original keys were larger han the modern key. The current badge is a one-inch gold key, sometimes jeweled. On the front of the key are the Greek letters ΚΚΓ (on the stem) and ΑΩΟ (on the ward). The badge is worn strictly as an emblem of membership and only by initiated members.

New Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma wear a different badge, a Sigma within a Delta enameled on silver in the two colors of the Fraternity, dark blue and light blue. The new member pin is only worn during the new member period, after which it is returned to the chapter.

The owl is the official mascot of Kappa Kappa Gamma. As the official flower, the fleur-de-lis combines the fraternity's colors of dark blue and light blue. The fraternity jewel is the sapphire. The fraternity Coat-of-Arms combines all the elements of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
