Strange Alpha Sigma Tau Badge
 
I found this badge on Ebay, and it says it's an Alpha Sigma Tau pin, but I've never seen anything like it. It's not like our badge at all. From what I understand, our badge has never changed it's original design, and I KNOW we've had the same one since the 1940s (when they claim this one was made).

It has a Mu guard attached, but even after looking at the national website, I can't find the Mu chapter listed (and I know it's not active).

Does anyone know if maybe this is from another fraternity/sorority entirely?

Could it be this http://honors.fiu.edu/slife_tsa.htm instead?

^^^ I looked at that too, but I didn't think that an honor fraternity would have such an ornate badge. Could be, though.

Yea, it's possible. But then what is the guard for?

No honor society at FIU (espcially one that is unique to the school) is going to have a badge that ornate or that old. FIU did not even exist until the 1960s and I'd bet that honor society isn't much older than a couple of years.

It's probably a defunct local or regional.

I could swear I saw a local fraternity called AST somewhere, but I'm blanking as to where.

Orientation badges can be very ornate. I was in an honor society that was the 1st Fraternity founded in 1798, it is now an English honor society.

Maybe it was a badge that was specially made for a specific sister in the Mu Chapter...
