Sisters,
In college, I ordered the plain one because "every ADPi must purchase her own badge." I only wore my mother's, which is yellow gold with pearls and rubies at the four corners (oh yeah, and the clapsed hads weren't raised when she was initiated, 1966). I wear my Gamma Lambda guard (plain yg, not roped or otherwise decorated) and it attaches to my badge from the side. (I had it on last Thurs and I am doing this from memory - I'll correct later if need be!)
I own a brandy-new badge (3/1/02) that I got from Ebay recently that is GORGEOUS! It is white gold, with alternating pearls and sapphires! It has raised clasped hands. I haven't yet ordered a guard for it, but I will, and will purchase white gold dangles for it too! (I know, I'm so corny...)
I own another white gold badge, plain, with flat clapsed hands, from 4/18/64 from Beta Tau chapter. It has a guard attached midway between the side and the bottom. I have worn it with the BT guard - Is that wrong???
Lastly, I have a 10K yellow gold, year unknown but flat clasped hands, with pearls and 4 sapphires at the points.
I did purchase one with all pearls, a roped guard, and flat clasped hands, but I can't find it!!!! :-(
I'd like to hear from you Sisters as to the issue of wearing a guard from another chapter. I have my mother's Delta Iota guard and would like to wear it. It's not roped, but not plain, it has some type of unusual design (if memory serves...) Her chapter is closed and I thought it would be nice to wear it.
Loyally,
Leslie
