Well, my badge says AQ363. I was initiated into Epsilon Alpha chapter (which would have been Alpha Alpha if AGD did not use regional designations) and the chapter roll was over 800 initiates by then.  I logged into MyAlphaGam and didn't see any membership number (such as would be on the Quarterly mailing label). |
Now that Omega Fi is managing our web site that number is probably not going to show up on the part of the website visible to us. I looked and couldn't find it, but I know that I had to have that label to have the right number to sign up for the old site. Who knows how many systems have been used over the years, and how long each one was used, and the reasoning for each one.
I'll try and remember to look at a copy of
The Quarterly and see if I can remember the theory a collegian and I came up with to explain the numbering system we thought was being used. It is completely possible we saw patterns where none existed, as what's on your badge doesn't readily jump out to me.
