This is a leadership organization, much like Rho Lambda or Order of Omega. The fact that you were invited to join (it's invitation only because we want only the best of the best in the Greek community) and will be given a gold pin to represent that is something that is extremely important to our organization. We want our leaders to know that they are so important, not only to our org and to their own home chapter, but to the Greek community as a whole. I don't think ribbons in BG's colors and a certificate really state the importance and the prestige of joining this group, do you?
Also, we've seen the buttons on Gamma's site and we wanted (again) something a little more prestigious like the other Greek leadership organizations on our campus. We kind of looked at it as "what is something that we can wear with our own badges from our home chapters, as well as pins from other leadership orgs, to a pin-attire event?" and we really felt the Gamma buttons on the website just weren't it. But thanks.
