JAM--
i TOTALLY hear you on the badge thing! when everyone grumbles about formal chapter, every one we had after my initiation i practically jumped for joy, because i couldnt WAIT to put on my pin. i was *so* sad when i gave it back to my grandbig at the end of the semester. i cant wait til i get mine. *sigh*
on that note, i have a sigma chi friend who was always over at my house when i got back from a formal event. and every time id take off my pin, he would grab it and say " can i wear the golden lyre?" and everyime id say hell no, youre not cool enough. and hed always respond with "damnit! i know!! ARGH!"
and coincedentally, i just moved to elwood, indiana which is the home of burr, auld, and patterson. guess i need to go stalk the place huh? or compliment them on the beauty of our wonderful badges!!
