International Badge Day will be on Monday, March 1, 2010, with the theme "The Fraternal Experience: Keep it Close to Your Heart"
Of course in this social media world a facebook event has already been created. This can be a great way to notify/remind those in your college chapters, alumnae chapters, or panhellenic friends.
International Badge Day on Facebook
Found this tidbit interesting on the facebook page:
Q: What’s different in 2010?
A: This is the second year that we’re celebrating diversity and our common sorority experience. In the spirit of global interfraternal relations, NPC also invited the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., the National Multicultural Greek Council, the National Asian Pacific Islander American Panhellenic Association and the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, Inc. to participate.
I also did not know this:
Q: Who started this tradition?
A: The creation of this event was the idea of a sorority woman. In the spring 1996 issue of Alpha Sigma Alpha’s “The Phoenix,” Nora M. Ten Broeck wrote an article titled: “A Simple Solution—Wear Your Membership Badge Today.” The article described her personal experience of wearing her sorority pin to work one day.
Way to go ASA!
