There are only 2 versions of Phi Beta's badge- plain gold or gold w/pearls. Nothing special for the National Prez. (Although all diamonds would be awesome!).

I got to tour the Alpha Phi HQ last fall. There is a prominent painting of an alum-(I can't remember if she was a past pres, or founder, or why she was so important) and her badge was sort of just in the middle of her shirt. They said that for years the badge had been 'over the heart', but then a few years back they got it cleaned & discovered the badge had been moved to that position so they had it removed & the original one shows now.

They went on to talk about how for a long time the important thing was that members WORE their badge, not WHERE they wore it. Just some interesting badge history for Alpha Phi.
