I've got the cheap yellow gold pin, but it is very much loved and was worked hard for. I didn't join ADPi until I was a junior, because I didn't have the funds, not that I really had the funds then either. But I was so excited about becoming an ADPi, I did it anyway. I paid for everything by myself, until the last year when I was in such a bind that I had to ask some sisters for help. I knew my parents wouldn't help out with sorority costs. I always say that I have the greatest sisters in the world, and I do!!! One sister bought my lunch almost an entire semester for me, because I didn't have the money for even that. My ADPi sisters are definately the best in the world!!!

I would love to have the all diamond pin---who wouldn't? They are my birthstone and I would like to have that......but I'm happy with the one that I have.

Last fall, I had the privelege of initiating both of my roommate's Diamond Sisters.....one of my roomies had to work, but gave me her pin to initiate her sis with ahead of time.....the other roomie, at the last minute couldn't make it, so initiated her little sis with my pin, something that I hadn't gotten to do before. Even thought she wasn't my little sister, it was a special time for her and for me both......Weirdest thing----the house that my 2 roomies and I lived in was later inhabited by the girl I initiated, and her big sis! What a story of the ADPi family!!
