We are also not allowed to wear our badges in a utilitarian form. Also, it is my understanding that Kappa pins are not meant to be worn on a lapel, only on a blouse underneath, in the standard badge place. However, BP&A makes oval pendants which you can attach your key to, and wear it as a pendant. I believe both actives and alumnae can wear the badge pendant. Mary Silzel, our Fraternity Historian, wears her badge in a pendant, and it looks really nice. I think I may put the pendant on my Hannukah list
