Ahhhhhhhhhh, it's good to be back on the boards! It is quite difficult to get online at my parents', because we live in a very rural area, and there is only one local access number (who wants to pay long distance phone charges for AOL
).
Anyway, I'll tell you about Sigma Sigma Sigma's badge process. Each and EVERY one of us has the same badge. No customization, no special engravings. I kinda like that (not to knock other GLO's way of doing things, because my dad's LXA badge is gorgeous-pearls and garnets...or rubies...
)-it unifies us. I will say that not every chapter orders a chapter guard on their badges, but it seems to me that most do. We all have the same thing engraved on the back-our chapter designation and inititation number and our initials. For example, mine says CMA and 'Beta Xi' 1144 (with the actual Greek characters-I don't know of any way to properly type a 'Xi'
)
We hang dangles from the chain that attaches our chapter guard to our badge. Some are larger than others...mine has 6 right now, but I need something like 6 or 7 more. Who knows when I'll get them...I'm a lazy bum and didn't work over break, so I don't have much extra cash laying around.
