Code VIII-4. Official Badge. Every initiate of Lambda Chi Alpha is encouraged to obtain and wear an Official Badge. The Official Badge is worn over the heart by initiated members in good standing on the outermost layer of clothing that is not normally removed, i.e., pull-over sweater, vest, or shirt (when neither of the former is worn). It is worn only on a collared shirt. It is not worn on a jacket of any type including the coat-style sweater. It may also be worn in similar fashion, usually in the miniature or medium size, by a fiancée, wife, mother, or sister of a member in good standing. In unusual cases the badge may be worn by a housemother. The badge guard normally is the Greek letter(s) designating the Zeta; without exception the guard is worn by all members so that the guard is clearly below the Delta Pi on the badge. The one authorized variation is that charter members of a chapter may wear the badge of the preceding well-established local society in place of the Zeta designation. The badge is never appropriate on stationery or for similar decorative purposes. The coat of arms, the crucicrescent, or possibly the seal should be used instead.
