From checking my handy dandy AOII history book, Phi chapter (Kansas) was chartered in 1918. I'll guess that establishes that most likely this badge is no older than that.

So I'm not online much and look what happens! LOL In reading the posts, I would have to say without actually seeing the back of the badge (to see the clasp, etc) it is really difficult to say if it is 90 years or 15 years old. All of the badges that I've seen have had dates on the back, at least the year. Looking at how orange the gold it I would have to say it is probably prior to 1950 rather than more recent as all our badges are more yellow than orange. . . if that makes sense!
Anyway, I have to run, get home, some last minute shopping, pack, and be to work at 5pm. Keep your fingers crossed as I have an interview in Indianapolis Wednesday morning for a flight attendant position!
Roses!

P.S. Silver, I'm going to have to hold on the visiting - though the airline I'm interviewing with next week has a base in Knoxville so I might just MOVE down to TN. . . .
