				 Bagde!! 
 
			
			I remember when I got my badge this past summer, right before convention actually!!  I have the all sapphire one, with a chapter guard and two dangles:  Rho Chi (now we're Rho Gammas) and Treasurer.  I'm still excited about it!  I was initiated last spring, and I'm kicking myself for being a Recruitment Guide (I can't wear my badge until formal recruitment is over), but it's a lot of fun.  
 I don't know about other people, but my friends and I wear our badges to work and whenever we go to a nice place.  It's such a beautiful piece of jewelry that I don't think it should be for chapter alone.  Besdies, it's a great conversation starter and a great way to meet other Kappas.  You wouldn't believe how many Kappas I've met by wearing my badge.  =D  My best advice:  wear it proud.  =)
