Don't you have to wash your hands a great deal? I'd be afraid for the turquoise - all that contact with soap. Otherwise, I personally would wear it. Yes, you are in scrubs, but for a very admirable reason. I'd look at it as a great way to represent sororities.

SWTXBelle,
Thank you. That's a great way to look at it. I have a huge engagement ring and sometimes I consider not wearing it to work because I sometimes wear gloves. I'll have to consider that. Thanks.

Two thoughts on this:

-I once called our Executive Office to ask about having two pins linked to each other, and other ideas. I was told that I had "Alumna Privilege" and to enjoy my pins!

-My own thought is that, if you wear your pin respectfully, and when you're clean & neatly dressed, I'd rather see someone wear her pin then rather than keep it in a drawer. I doubt that I'd wear any of them with shorts, no matter how tidy & coordinated, though.

I just looked at the hjgreek site and I'm less than interested in their jewelry options for Alpha Gam. maybe it is my age, style, or taste, but I'm not whipping out my credit card for any of them. I am glad the flip flop jewelry trend is over, and we have the double rose charm/pendant option, and the squirrel is always cute, but I guess my jewelry is more toned down now and I'm worried about trashing it when I do wear it.

I am considering purchasing the armorial bearing charm and making my own chapter guard from it. I can get any old chapter guard off of eBay and do some jewelry Frankenstein and have what I really want.

There's a site linked from IHQ that has some nicer stuff. I like this one bracelet, and they carry items for a few sororities.

Yesterday, I found one of my other favorites (that are mine). I'll post a picture later, but it's a light blue cabouchen sapphire with our crest on it, worn as a pendant. I got it on ebay, and there was a pink one that I wanted more, but didn't win.

I had an awesome ADPi bracelet years ago, but it went missing. :( But someday, I hope to have the money to replace it. I had been given the braelet as part of Sister of the Year.

That just reminded me!! I have a white gold/yellow gold twisted rope bracelet with a 150th quatrefoil charm hanging from it... unfortunately, because I like to slide bracelets on and off instead of actually using the clasp, it broke. One of these days I'll take it to the jeweler to get re-twisted and such, but I don't often wear bracelets, so it's not totally worth it to me. But thanks for jogging my memory anyway!! :)

You Magnolia girls torturing us with the lack of pictures! I hope you can post some pictures, they sound absolutely gorgeous. :)
