As a collegiate, we had two honor badges. One had a ruby in the tip, and was given to the person with the most improved grades. You got to wear it for the quarter and then it was passed on. The other had a diamond in the tip and was the 'brides pin'... you wore it for your wedding (most people wore it on their undergarments but a few actually put in on their gown). Both were bequeathed to the chapter from alumnae who passed away.
Incidentally that is one of the three things that are supposed to happen to your badge when you pass away. (going on sale on Ebay is NOT one of them). You badge is either buried with you, returned to HQ or bequeathed to another Pi Phi, or Pi Phi chapter.
Sort of having alumnae will you their badge, individuals may purchase badges to be used as honor badges, or dangles may be used.
