A question (for everyone) about badges - I'm getting the impression that the badges you receive at initiation have jewels in them - is this correct? I'm curious because DOs only receive a gold badge with no stones of any kind - you have to order one of those on your own, and I've actually never seen one (not even at convention!) Is it common for other fraternities and sororities to automatically recieve a jeweled badge?

The Phi Sig basic badge is a Sphinx head that slightly resembels George Washington (well... it does!) With Sapphire Eyes...
This is the badge that MOST chapters choose to give their initiates.
The other badge is the Sphinx head set in a pyramid with three sappires at each point... some chapters use this as their badge, but a lot of times, sisters just buy one when they want.
