I Got My Badge!!!
 

I'm so excited!! I just got my badge (pin) for Phi Psi tonight. Our nationals are slow...no hold on, they are beyond slow! So myself, and the rest of the Fall 2001's got our badges tonight. It is so nice. It has my name, chapter, badge number, and initiation date engraved on the back. I'm stoked to wear it to meetings now!!!

Congrats! :)

Congrats on finally getting your badge. It's great to hear someone so excited and proud of their fraternity's symbol! :D

Congrats!!!
 

Glad to see that you are so excited to get your badge!!! Wear it with pride.:)

Congrats! :)

Hootie, same with my badge - I had to send it back for a new pearl. When the same pearl fell out again I just had them send me a new badge - it seemed inauspicious that the symbol of my membership was falling apart!

Congratulations! It's so exciting when you do finally get your own badge to wear.

Sweet dude! Congrats.

First off, congrats on getting your badge!!

Secondly, I just got my badge tonight!! :) Like you, I was initiated in fall '01.

congrats!

Josh,
I don't think it is your Nationals to blame who are slow.
I think in all likelihood, your badge was likely made by Burr Patterson and Auld ("BPA")and I presume that they do the engraving too. Don't forget that BPA makes your fraternity's badges and nearly every GLO's badges too....so just think every collegian who was initiated in North America + plus engraving....the reality is that it would take a while, not to mention that you got your badge and there was no mistake on it.....it would be a big drag to receive your badge and they messed up and got your initials or chapter wrong or something!

Also, most GLO's will not give the order for your badge to be created until they receive the documentation that you actually were initiated (and that you didn't leave school, drop out of the fraternity, etc.). So that could hold things up, too....

Be happy that you received it, and it was done accurately! :D But, yes, I do know that feeling of FINALLY RECEIVING your badge! woo hoo! :D

Very ture, but in my chapter Fall 1999-Spring 2001 did not have badges until 2 months ago...Our nationals is very slow.
