I am excited for you!:D

Badge update-
So, I called my bank to see if my check was ever cashed(for my badge). They can't find it. Arggh!! I wound up ordering the same one again!!

The wait will make it all the better once it is in your hands.

That's very pretty! That looks like my roommate's badge...it belonged to her aunt and she gave it to my roommate before she passed away. She was from the Alpha Omicron chapter I believe. It's a beautiful badge. I want one like it =]

My badge is super special! It's gold with pearls on it... but the special part is it was my grandmothers! it has her name and initiation date on the back which I cant remember at the moment but I think it's like 1934? Anyway it is an antique and I love wearing it because it reminds me of my DG roots and of how truly far our sisterhood extends :) I don't have any dangles yet but want some!!

Would you be so kind to post a pic when you have time?^^

Do your chapters give out scholarship pearls for having a grade point average of 3.5 or higher two semesters in a row? I haven't seen the pearls on any of the badges posted.

If your chapters do use the pearls, is it possible to have multiple pearls on your guard? If you get the lamp of knowledge, do you wear that instead of the pearl, or in addition to it?

Thanks for your help!

My chapter did not give out scholarship pearls...it would have been nice if they did though. I probably would have just worn one...depending on how it fit with everything else.

Another question: do your badges have a little gold loop on the back of them? Does it have a particular purpose or is it just part of the design of the badge?

It may not be tradition at your chapter, but in my chapter everyone wore chapter-letter guards. The gold loop is to attach the chain for the pin guard.

We wear guards too, but there doesn't seem to be any way to hook the chain onto the loop without bending that part of the chain.

When I bought my original badge, back when the earth was still cooling, if you ordered a chapter letter guard, they attached it to the loop on the back of the badge.

I recently took it to my local jeweler and had them put a clasp on the little chain so that I can take off the guard and wear the badge on my necklace adapter - or put the guard back on and wear it "full regalia," with all my dangles!

Is there a website cataloging all the different dangle options? I would like to get some for people as gifts. But I don't know what all the options are. :)

Questions:
What is the purpose of/who should get:
-Anchor recognition pin
-Monogram recognition pin
-Senior bridge pin (I'm guessing it's for graduating seniors, but would I be right?)
-Sponsorship dangle (is that an officer position?)
Is the Mother's Pin for mothers of Delta Gammas (i.e. I would buy it for my mom, say as a Mother's Day gift), or is it for DG's whose daughters pledge?
Is it wrong of me to want a Pi Alpha pin, just for nostalgia purposes? (Not that I would wear it--just as a keepsake!)

Now that I have seen this link, I absolutely MUST own all three of those Christmas ornaments. If you want to buy me one as a present, PM me for my address. :D
