[GTAlphaPhi]

My own is a plain 2009 badge. I've rescued a 1960's gold badge with pearls and a center diamond, and a 1919 badge with a pearled alpha. I'd love to get one of the silver ones, just because I'd be able to wear a badge more often. Of course, if I could have anything, I'd LOVE to have a Lazy Phi badge (antique or replica)...any Lazy Phi...plain, pearls (alumnae chapter president), turquoise (collegiate chapter president), etc.

If there was an opal Alpha Phi badge, I think I'd pass out. I've brought this up in another thread, but I've found historic documentation on our website that explicitly states that the ruby is our official jewel, but I've never heard or read that anywhere else. Given that rubies match bordeaux, the stone itself isn't an issue, but I am curious as to why it's not publicized, or if the ruby was dropped as the official stone or what. I'd love to have a ruby-studded badge. How about a silver or white gold badge with rubies! That'd be the PERFECT Alpha Phi badge!

There was a gold badge with an all-diamond alpha that sold on eBay for over $1,000. It must have been custom or from when there may have been more choices. I certainly wouldn't mind having that.

Side note: If anyone has pictures of Lazy Phi or other antique Alpha Phi badges, please share them in our channel and on the "Badge Trends" thread.
