I don't believe that anyone's intention has been to say that one organization is better than or more important than another, but are acknowleging the difference in the organizations. I have to say that the women that I knew who were members of both ZTA and SAI loved both of their organizations, while realizing that they were very different organizations.
I think that the women I knew found the easiest way to distinguish which badge to wear was to decide for which organization they were getting dressed up. That's to say that on Tuesdays, ZTAs wore badge attire in recognition of Tuesdays being our chapter meeting day. So on Tuesdays they wore the ZTA badge. If they were going to a recital or music reception or SAI meeitng, they wore their SAI badge. And to be honest, the women I went to school with didn't dress up unless they had to, so what to wear on another day wasn't an issue.
I think the best way to look at it is this: Think of SAI and another organization that a woman is a member of as a parent who loves their children.
My parents love my brother and I equally, though we are quite different. They don't love either more or less than the other, though our relationships with our parents are very different.
