Alpha Phi Omega Pledge pin
Alpha Phi Omega's Pledge pin is similiar to our Service Pin (our general membership pin, which is an alternative to our badge). Main different is the letter "P" in the center instead of "S". Funny thing is, when it comes up on eBay, some think the P is Rho, and say they are putting up an "Alpha Phi Omega Rho" pin. Sigh.
Also, to add to what others said, APO also has a separate pin for Petitioners (we call our colonies Petitioning Groups). Its a small round pin with a torch on it. It was introduced only a decade or so back. Before Petitioners wore the pledge pin.
Once one become a Brother in APO, one usually does not wear the pledge pin anymore (why bother). However, if one was a Petitioner, one is encouraged to wear the Petitioner pin along with the service pin to show you were a Petitioner and thus helped establish (or re-establish) a chapter.
Hope this is of interest
