I have a gold pearl badge I got at initiation and I have a white gold diamond badge which I love. I wear my badges OFTEN and I wear silver and gold jewelry...SO I have one of each...I also am fortunate to have a regional pin (lazy Phi replica) as I am on the regional team for the PNW.
Last year I wore my pin to school...(I am a K teacher) and one of my little girls wanted one just like it because her name started with an A...Well, I told her when she goes to college, she can join a special group called a sorority and the one that has an A in the badge is called Alpha Phi! Geez, rushing in kindergarten!!!!
I love each of my badges and wear them all the time - on bad days it gives me strength on good days it makes me feel glad! Sentimental yes, silly of course, but so much fun...
AOE Always.
