Provided that this happens in a timely manner, the badges are shipped to the chapter in time for initiation.

It may work that way for y'all, but not for us, since we order badges later in the probationary member period.

Based on what has been said in some other threads, I think that in some sororities (or some chapters of some sororities), the basic badge is included in the initiation fee, while in some others, everyone pays for the badge of choice separately. And some sororities don't require members to purchase badges at all.

For SigEp, all of our standard pins are covered by our dues and come out of the Chaplain's budget. Does anyone else not have to pay for their badge?
