It's absolutely deplorable the crap they're pawning off on our new members, and that company serves (and I use that term lightly) 98 fraternities and sororities.
I'll do my shopping on ebay where you can find a nice vintage badge in 10 or 14K, often for $50 - $75. You will not find workmanship like that today.
You all should be glad that sellers on ebay are listing older pins. It's the only way you're going to get a quality badge. Stop griping and whining about it for crying out loud, and buy one to give to a new member.

Ouch!!! Well, this is your opportunity to make an important change in your fraternity. For a brief time in my sorority we had a similar problem with our badges. Who ever we contracted with were sending out these wafer thin pieces of gold that barely held the pearls. Many members complained and we changed companies - after the membership spoke up about it!!! Do the same, make some changes.
