I won the badge! And another Zeta won the plain silver badge and she happens to be from the Mu chapter area so the Mu guard that comes with my badge will be going her way (silver etched, very pretty). I just wish I would have it in time for Badge day tomorrow...

So far it looks like the Honor Ring may go to a Zeta. The person who has the highest bid has purchased a Zeta badge before and no other GLO para so hopefully my assumption is right. It's approaching $200 though...

thanks for keeping us updated on the honor ring. congratulations on your new badge and how sweet of you to send the chapter guard to someone who can use it!

Honor Ring
 

Just wanted to let you ladies know that I won the honor ring auction. I plan on returning it to IO. :)
ZLAM,

I just messaged you on ebay and came on here to announce that you won but you already announced it! You are awesome, sister!!! Thank you for rescuing a piece of our history.

ZLAM!

good news to hear that our badges and especially the honour ring are being rescued by sisters.

zlam

thank you!! what wonderful news!!

On a related note, last week someone was selling one of my chapter's pink ribbon pins on eBay and it was over $40. We still sell them for $5 each. :rolleyes:

I wanted to get it but I knew how cheaply they can be purchased :cool: Same with the Mother's Pin. And it doesn't quite have the same meaning as a badge or Honor Ring...

I received the badge I won - silver with pearls and silver Mu guard and it's so beautiful! I can't wait to wear it! And I'm sending the Mu guard to a sister in that area who could use it :) Now if anyone has a silver Theta Chi guard they wanna send my way, be my guest ;) And I have a pearl missing from my gold badge - who can I go to to get it repaired/replaced? Is a local jeweler allowed to work on it or must I send it to HJ or IO...?

^ I was wondering that too! I have a plain gold badge and a pink sapphire badge. I got the pink one when part of the antiquing fell out of my old one! There's a big gold gap between the T and the A! I don't even know how it happened. So I'd like to know where I could get badges fixed too :)

OK I know I'm off topic as we usually discuss badges here...but I want the giant ZTA Think Pink Ribbon Car Magnet Lookie!

I've been out of town on business and didn't have internet access so I'm glad to know the HR went to a sister. My lil sis was bidding on it but got outbid.

I'm sure I've got plenty of local points but I doubt if I'll be able to get the others.

I took an old badge to a jeweler to see if he could replace some of the missing seed pearls and he told me that they were too hard to get so he didn't do that sort of thing. He suggested that I speak with the official jeweler to see if they could/would work on it but I haven't done that yet. Maybe at Convention.

I lost my pink ribbon magnet at an automated drive through car wash so watch out for that if you get one.

I gots one :D One of the local alumnae groups sold them a couple of years ago.

Me and my imaginary car really think we need a pink ribbon magnet.

Perhaps I could carry it with my MTA bus & subway card if nothing else. HAHA
