Of course, anyone can get a guard, but other than showing your chapter affiliation, its most important function is to prevent the loss of your badge. So, while no one wants to lose their badge, most would agree that a guard is more important for jeweled badges just because they are more expensive.
When you buy the basic badge for $30, some people might think it is silly to buy a guard for almost as much (Plain guards from Herff Jones are $18-31 depending on SS or GG and if your chapter has one or two letters).
