One theme that has reoccurred in this discussion is the idea of "have to" (ie, we have to wear it every other Monday, etc). As a chapter we would make it a suggestion that all sisters wear their badge on certain dates but nothing happened if you didn't. Every member of our chapter chose to wear her badge on that day. The only "have to" dates we had were ritual related times. Wearing your badge is a thing of honor. I hope that all Greeks feel the same. As an Alumna member, I try to wear my badge often. I do not wear it every day because it is not to be worn as another piece of jewelry. However, I am getting a ring that allows you to permanently affix a badge so that I can wear it most days (I have purchased a separate badge to put in the ring so I still have my pin that I was initiated with to wear as a badge).
