Good luck finding your badges, especially CJ! :(

This isn't technically a badge, but I thought some might be interested in this piece. This seems like something extra special to me, considering the history of Eta chapter.

I've never seen a badge quite like this one. Does anyone have any idea about it?

Wow, it's beautiful!

If I had to guess, that's from the period of founding...I mean, the late 1800's...I came across another badge that looks "different" on e-bay a year ago and it turned out to be from the 1800's (before one badge design was picked). The badge ended up selling for $2000+ to a collector (who happened to be a DG). I'm going to contact EO on this one...

i believe that it is one of the older badges. it looks a lot like the pin that we give to one of the most involved new members. i can't quite remember how old it is but i believe that it is from the early 1900s.

Click on the link from my most recent post above and see how much the DG badge went for. I almost fell out of my chair! Does anyone have any idea if the winning bidder is a DG?

Hello DG friends... I spend a good bit of time on eBay & I am sometimes amazed at the big prices on some of the badges. That's a spectacular old badge.

In looking at the bidding history for the high bidder (bogs99) it looks like s/he has bid on several Delta Gamma items, but also auctions for the following during the past 30 days:

Kappa Sigma
Kappa Kappa Kappa
Phi Delta Theta
Sigma Delta Tau
Delta Sigma Nu
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Alpha Kappa Phi
Iota Phi Theta
Tau Delta Phi
Delta Kappa Epsilon

I could be wrong, but it looks like a "collector" won it!

Bogs is a Delta Gamma. She is the same one who won the last old badge...the one with emeralds. She is a collector though...I hope it somehow ends up at EO...:(

This isn't technically a DG badge, but it's interesting and very pretty. Has anyone ever seen anything like it before?

It is a pretty piece. I think the maker's mark is well known, but I can't recall who's mark it is.

I'm also a Zeta Eta initiate, so I wanted to make sure to say Hi!!!:p

Sorry to crash, but here's another one:

^ That auction makes me sad. I e-mailed her and told her that too.
