Don't worry, it's not just your chapter that is having problems with getting the badges on time... We haven't gotten our sisters badges from last semester, this semester, the dangles, and our mother's pins. We just improvise... Like for the mother's pins, we made our own pins, with gold and blue ribbons, and lil red roses. Then we attach them together with a saftey pin. They work just fine, until we get the actual pins in. I let one of the newly initiated sisters from last semester borrow my badge until she got hers... So I have been wearing my new member pin, or my founders pin, to everything since. And then two weeks ago, I pinned my new sapphire sister, with my new member pin. Thank God I was a founder, and have another pin!!
Anyways, I just wanted to let you know, that you're not the only ones out there! LITP!
