I feel like the nautilus is one of our less-used symbols, but it's one of my favorites! We were thinking of making the pins as a sisterhood. The Gamma Phi Betas on our campus have special safety pins that don't have the loop at the bottom of them, so the pearls can slide around to the closed side, rather than the open side where they might fall off! I'll have to ask my friend where they buy theirs.
I talked to a few more of my sisters about it, and we like the idea of doing three stars, especially since that gives a lot more room to make it your own with different colors/styles of star beads. We're known for being a house with a lot of different types of girls and a lot of individuality. Using your own favorite colors for the stars, rather than restricting it to our beloved green, white and pink (our chapter color) would accentuate our individuality, but still unify us in all the important ways! Plus, you could make them match your outfit, which is always good, too!
I'm having so much fun coming up with ideas for this semester! Any inspiration is always appreciated, so thank you!
