Most prized/loved LXA item
 

What is everybody's favorite and most loved single LXA item?

Mine is the old ringer T that I bought off of Campus Classics many years ago. Its grey, with green around the collar and shirt sleeves with green Lambda Chi Alpha curved across the chest.

That shirt is my all time favorite. It has holes in the pits, is faded and coming apart in some places, but I still wear it today when the weather permits. It's been washed so many times it looks like a rag, but I guess that's the style today.

If anyone remembers the Seinfeld episode with his old t shirt "golden boy," that's what it means to me.

I guess I had alot more items that I've lost throughout the years. My favorite would have been my initiation brick that I made and then my drinking sweater which I lost. :(

I think my most prized clothing item is my Lambda Chi Olive Green ball cap with my Zeta # stiched on the adjustment band in the back. I like the style and it is actually big enough to fit my head!

I think my most prized historic item is my 1929 History Book that was previously owned by Warren A. Cole.

I think my most loved item is the Badge of our Chapter Founder, Jack Hendry. Jack was, and ever will be, my model of a real man.

This one's easy...I met George Spasyk for the first time @ the Denver General Assembly in 2002, and he autographed my original ID card from 1974. Now it has two of his signatures. At the risk of borrowing from our friends @ SAE, he's definitely a "true gentleman".

Thanks BOZ, I didnt even think of doing that:(

I have so many, but:

1. Local I started, Beta Chi Badge and Pledge Pin I designed.

2. My original LXA Badge, white gold, with pearls and Saphires in the Lambda. Just like the Traveling Sec. Badge when He visited us.

3. Coat of Arms that Jono painted for me and hanging proudly.

As I said, it is so hard especially when I look at the many items.

Without a doubt, it is my badge. It was given to me on May 19, 1985, as a graduation present from two Brothers. I was floored when I opened the small box that they slid down the bar to me. Unfortunately, one of the Brothers passed away about 5 years ago, but the other gets a phone call from me every time I wear that badge.

Every time I wear it, I think back to that dimly lit college bar, that moment, and all the love that is captured in that badge.

Its hard to pick, but my badge would of course come first.
It was a Christmas gift from my grandfather who passed
away 5 years later.

I also have a "recognition plaque" (Just a framed picture
of CoA with "In appreciation...." and a little name card with
my name and Zeta# at the bottom) I received at the
chartering banquet for Gamma-Delta Zeta (Vandy).
