A lot of SAI women do something similar to this, especially "older" members. Instead of dangles, they get guards (one for their college chapter, one for the Sword of Honor award, one for their exec. office, etc..) and attach all of THOSE to the badge! IMHO, too many guards distract from the badge. I've seen as many as ten on one badge!
Here's a related question, though: Most of these women then buy little "badge buddies" - pieces of decorative fabric upon which the badge and all guards are pinned. The badge buddy has a pin on the back, which the wearer then attaches to her clothing. I guess it saves the time and frustration of putting all those pins onto an article of clothing, not to mention wear and tear on the clothes. Do other GLOs do this?
