[QUOTE=AzTheta;2103469]VandalSquirrel, you are amazing! I like "detective work" and you have a talent in that area, for sure.
As for dates on badges, here's what I did with my new onyx badge: I had "ABC" "BD" and 4-1-11 engraved on the back of it. None of those initials would make sense to anyone else. ABC=Advisory Board Chairman BD = Beta Delta (chapter at UofA) and the date is my official appointment date. QUOTE]
Does anyone know when Alpha Gam badges ceased being engraved with the member's name, chapter, & initiation date? I was initiatied in 1971 and my badge has a serial number (AQ363, IIRC). My assumption is that Balfour stamped 'em and sent 'em out as they were ordered. Is that serial-number system still being used? Does IHQ maintain a list? (I should probably ask IHQ....are they in the midst of moving to the new building?)
