I definitely think badges vary by region and school. The women in my chapter had at least the scroll edge badge with pearls, in fact I didn't know you could get the plain scroll badge. Most had either alternating pearl/garnet or pearl with garnet points. When I advised a small chapter, they all had the plain scroll edge. It was rare when a new initiate ordered the pearl point scroll badge. They always liked my original badge (gold, pearls with garnet points). I wore my white gold badge with alternating amethysts and pearls when I volunteered during recruitment at another chapter and several of the chapter women said they wished they had gotten a "blingier" badge for initiation. So basically, I think you buy what you know.
