Besides, how could I attack a sorority with the same lovely symbol(red rose) and colors as my own?

Actually, having read AOIIs first ritual book (hand written by our founders), AOII's ritual has not changed since 1897 with the exception of a few words - seriously! I also would like to say that our founders were the ones that instituted the badge policy that you don't agree with. It is not to offend any other organization (as two of our founders were also in Phi Beta Kappa) but for the same reason our badge is so simple - AOII's importance is in her simplicity.
Here's a thought to chew on. . . what would you do if you were a member of two orgs that required you to wear each badge higher than any other? Basically you will still need to choose which badge was more important to be worn in the situation and not wear the other at all. That's not saying that one is more important, just that you would not technically be able to wear both at the same time. Or the point that Sistermadly states about which one you would wear closest to your heart for that matter. . .
I hope I don't come off as too curt, basically I'm saying that the member would need to decide which badge she would like to wear in whatever situation she was in. . .
