International Badge Day 2011
 
I searched and there wasn't a thread for this year! Monday, March 7th (Yes, tomorrow!) is International Badge Day 2011.

I'm sad that my new badge hasn't come in yet :( I'm making sure my sister-daughter is wearing hers though!! I'll probably wear letters to try and make up for it:)

AOII Angel 03-06-2011 11:35 AM

Every year this falls on a day that I can't participate. :( Last year I was interviewing for my current job and this year I'll be at Disney World. I wear my badges all the time, so I'll be with you all in spirit! Happy International Badge Day tomorrow!

Alumiyum 03-06-2011 11:36 AM

I still haven't gotten around to replacing mine...it's just missing a diamond and I could still wear it but the prongs where the diamond was get caught in things and I'm afraid it will get pulled off or ruin clothing. :( Maybe I'll dig around my jewelry box and try to find a lettered necklace instead.

AOEforme 03-06-2011 11:51 AM

My new badge hasn't come yet either. They shipped it to my home address (which was clearly listed as the billing address not as the shipping) :mad:.

I have three exams tomorrow, so I'm hoping my old one brings me good luck!

Here's hoping you get your new badge soon!!! And good luck on the exams!! (Three?!?! Yuck!)

We pass our badges on to our sister-daughters, so they can't be ordered until they've actually initiated. Plus everything from International takes longer to ship to Canada. Oh well!

AZTheta 03-06-2011 12:08 PM

Can't wait! Wearing mine in a badge holder necklace. I'm traveling tomorrow; definitely hoping to spot other badge wearers along the way.

AGDLynn 03-06-2011 12:28 PM

Decided to wear mine today isnce I will be out in public. The pearl one on the chain.

At work, I usually am stuck at my desk but I may wear the plain badge again.

IrishLake 03-06-2011 01:19 PM

I plan on wearing mine, but it'll be on the suspenders of my Carhartt coveralls. :)

KSUViolet06 03-06-2011 01:58 PM

My job is such that I'm not going to wear it. Kiddos might pull it off/break it/etc. The only jewelry I ever wear there is the costume kind.

I'll probably carry my Convention tote, though.

ComradesTrue 03-06-2011 02:22 PM

I am just hanging with my young kids and running errands tomorrow, but will do so in pin attire so that I can participate. Some other Thetas and I have tossed around the idea of meeting for lunch so that we can all wear our badges together.

The facebook event has almost 50,000 participants!

DubaiSis 03-06-2011 02:42 PM

I plan to wear mine in Dubai! We'll see if anyone notices...

FleurGirl 03-06-2011 03:11 PM

I have a physics exam tomorrow, so hopefully my key will bring me luck!

lovespink88 03-06-2011 04:03 PM

My office is very casual, so I'm not sure my badge is appropriate. I'm planning on wearing my AXiD lavalier though!

Psi U MC Vito 03-06-2011 04:33 PM

I think I might wear mine just for the hell of it.

sweetmagnolia 03-06-2011 04:55 PM

I just got my badge on Friday, so I am so excited to wear it for the first time tomorrow!

honeychile 03-06-2011 05:53 PM

I haven't decided. I may have to do something that wouldn't allow the sharp points to be worn without hurting someone. I will most certainly try, though!

jessica.lanelle 03-06-2011 06:10 PM

I want to wear mine, but I wear scrubs to work :( I guess I could just wear my lavalier.

littleowl33 03-06-2011 06:48 PM

I work at a college campus with a Kappa chapter, so I'll be excited to (hopefully) see some actives wearing their pins too! :)

SWTXBelle 03-06-2011 09:07 PM

Gonna rock my badge, NPC crest guard, and 25 year pin!

BraveMaroon 03-06-2011 09:20 PM

Planning to wear mine, but with that, I have to decide how blinged I really want to get. Do I then also wear my Order of Omega pin? And do I rock my pin from Pi Delta Phi (French Honor Society)?

Or, should I wear my pin from Order of the Triangle, leave the badge at home and call it a day?

I'd love to think that some of my Panhellenic coworkers will step up.

I've done some checking and in my office we have sisters from:

Zeta Tau Alpha
Alpha Delta Pi
Gamma Phi Beta
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Alpha Sigma Tau
Phi Mu
Delta Gamma
Sigma Kappa

That's actually kind of impressive.

I still have my Order of Omega pin, but I leave it in my jewelry box.

Also, Theta has just slightly less than a gazillion alums in Nashville. Betcha find one or two of those around the office too! That is a really impressive list, by the way. When I lived in Nashville our little office of 6 had 2 Thetas, 2 Delta Zetas, 1 Phi Mu, and 1 Sigma Kappa, all from different schools. Too bad that we wore scrubs to work, or else we could have really rocked it on badge day!

ASTalumna06 03-07-2011 10:12 AM

I'm wearing mine today!

I love that I get to wear it again. It's been well over a year since I've had it on.

I'm also sporting a new anchor necklace that I picked up in Cape Cod over the weekend :)

XAntoftheSkyX 03-07-2011 12:13 PM

Nothing to do and nowhere to go, but I'll be in badge attire and my new badge on.

Kappamd 03-07-2011 12:19 PM

^^^Same. I am rocking the golden key for my trip to the grocery store.

IrishLake 03-07-2011 12:30 PM

Mine is on. I haven't seen anyone else wearing one though. :(

Titchou 03-07-2011 12:41 PM

Got mine on today!

AOEforme 03-07-2011 01:19 PM

I saw at least four people wearing badges during my exam this morning!

ComradesTrue 03-07-2011 01:46 PM

I went to the grocery store and then met a friend at panera. Didn't see any badges except for hers. Now I am home, getting ready to deep clean the house. Glamorous, I know.

OleMissGlitter 03-07-2011 02:42 PM

I'm wearing mine! My Theta coworker said she totally forgot! But I'm impressed she knew about it at least!

Psi U MC Vito 03-07-2011 02:44 PM

Wearing mine! Quite a few badges, but Mondays are badge days for most of the Greeks here anyway.

BraveMaroon 03-07-2011 02:49 PM

Here in my office, it's just me and a Gamma Phi Beta who are badged and beautiful. I'd never seen one that close up, and it is really pretty.

ASTalumna06 03-07-2011 02:56 PM

AST National President, Chris Covington's Facebook status:

"There is no symbol that represents the practices of my life and the sentiments of my heart more fully than the Alpha Sigma Tau badge. Celebrate International Badge Day!"

:)

IndianaSigKap 03-07-2011 04:32 PM

Wore mine today! There are just three of us NPC women at my job and I was the only one who remembered.

aephi alum 03-07-2011 05:57 PM

I'm working from home today (as usual) ... But I saw in my Facebook news feed that a few of my friends who are in NPC sororities changed their profile pics to pics of their badges - so I did the same.

raelee 03-07-2011 07:12 PM

Wore mine today @ work. Called another Alpha Xi and she was also wearing hers. Alas, no one @ work wore their's. They lost or misplaced their badge.

bevinpiphi 03-07-2011 08:08 PM

Wore my 1937 pearl badge today to teach, instead of wearing my one with a ton of dangles. One of my students commented on it.

I taught in my badge today as well. Only one student commented on it...turns out, her grandmother is a Gamma Phi Beta! :D

IrishLake 03-07-2011 08:27 PM

Well, I didn't see any other badges today. But my boss and the other geologist (who is an APhiA) both commented on it. :)

BuckeyeTriDelta 03-07-2011 08:42 PM

I wore mine to work...no one else did
