But if I were in 2 GLOs, I would always want to wear both pins when dressed up. Now, for rituals, it would be appropriate to only wear the pin for that group. But what about other times you are dressed up? Like, non-sorority related times? THEN how do you choose which pin to wear?
Like I said, I KNOW my opinion doesn't count for much. But...I think AOII nationals should really think about this kind of situation. For cases where the member's other GLO badge policy conflicts with AOIIs, it would be a good idea to come up with a compromise...like wearing the pins side by side. I simply don't understand why this would be disrespectful, or wrong. I know this is the sorority's policy and tradition...But I believe there should be some exceptions.
I know I have offended you, and I am sorry. However, do you see how I am a little offended that a fellow Greek organization thinks that their badge should be worn above another that a member is just as devoted to?
Any other opinions?

First of all, I never said your opinion didn't count for much, but as someone else stated earlier in this post, I think it was alsparky that mentioned that ZTA has the same policy, so why the apparent hostility towards AOII?
I'm sure that many GLOs would prefer that their members hold them in the highest of importance and thus want to wear the badge above others. I’m not saying that there isn’t something wrong with compromise or your idea, but truly this is a question for people on the Alpha Omicron Pi Ritual, Traditions, and Jewelry committee.
