wearing your badge?
 

are there any occasions where wearing your badge is appropriate?

Be more specific... as a graduate, undergrad...? I graduated in '87, and have worn mine to fraternity functions (Pig Dinner, etc) and to graduate chapter meetings/functions. I wear a PGD recognition pin on my lapel on the rare occasions I have to wear a suit, and have worn a gold recognition ring every day of my life since my 21st birthday. Also have worn the badge to Brothers weddings.

As a note - I also colect NIC badges, and have a nice collection of PGDs. I have made arrangements in my will for my PGD badges and my personal badge to be returned to HQ if my son is not a FIJI. As many badges as I have found on eBay and in pawn shops and estate sales, I would encourage any Brothers out there to make sure they make their wishes as to the disposition of their badge known well before their demise. Not to be morbid, but I want my badge taken care of, not melted down for scrap...
