Killarny Rose, I think you know I have already sent letters to the past council and then to the past ritual chair who agreed to pursue approaching council about wearing the badge as a pendant. But shortly thereafter she retired from the position. I will send you my petition if you would like.
There is a picture from Miami of Ohio which shows our early members wearing the badge on the left, right and center of their white blouses.
o Early sorority women wore badges in their hair because hairpins were contemporary placement of adornment
o At the turn of the century, many sorority women wore their badges on the collar because a clasp at a high neck was contemporary placement of adornment
In the 1920s and early 1930s DZ alumnae could by a badge with four diamonds on the ionic column (where the pearls are).
Glad your started this thread. I love the badge pendants other Panhellenic women wear. Would so enjoy wearing my member badge as a pendant.
