I only wear my pin to formal Kappa stuff because I'm terrified of losing it -- I nearly lost my pledge pin in a washing machine. I wear my lavalier all the time http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

At my campus Wednesday is usualy the unoffical badge/letter day. My chapter usualy has the first Wed of the month as badge day. Besides chapter related events where I have to wear mine I try to be dressed up enough on one other day during the week so I can wear it. I like the idea of wearing it to church but I think I'd get more raised eyebrows than interested eyes. I wore a bid-day shirt to a church event the other nite and while no one said anything to me I got a few looks. I like wearing my badge & letters!

DeltAlum,

I think you're right about how we dress casually a lot more often today. I rarely am dressed up enough to wear my badge, although I'd like to be able to wear it more than I do now.

"Letter days" every week -- good idea, I think I'll have to start that at my chapter. We've had "Wear your letters day" in the past, but it has been maybe once or twice a YEAR. Obviously we wore them on our own from time to time, but not really on an organized schedule like that.

Does any chapter fine beause of failure to dress up for badge attire day? or attending events in innappropriate badge attire or not even badge atttire at all?

holy blast from the past batman!

we used to fine for not wearing pin attire at chapter. now you just lose speaking and voting privileges. other than chapter and ritual we don't enforce wearing your badge, but we do encourage it.

We have a dress code for meetings and Mondays are our "dress up" days. I try to wear my badge on both days, along with Friday being "Unofficial Letters/Colors" day on campus.

I wear mine when I am dressed up. It adds a nice little touch to my outfit,and i am proud to be Greek!!

Whenever I dress up I wear my BM pin. So I end up wearing it a fair amount.

I wear mine whenever I'm dressed up, which is usually just for chapter or for field observations.

In my chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, we only wear ours when we are dressed in quill attire -- basically whenever we have to dress up for anything Greek related!

I try to wear it whenever I'm dressed in badge attire. For instance when I have to make a presentation in class or a job interview.

I wear mine whenever I'm dressed up at school- juries, presentations, whatever. I'm so proud to sport my lyre!

BrianMUDU,

our chapter has both a pin attire day and a letters day during the week. it has been very good in showing campus who we are and what we are involved in. all of the sororities on campus as well as a few of the fraternities do the same. its a good practice, i would reccomend it
