Okay I have two pins:
The first is the one I got after I was initiated, the one I ordered. Because I was poor my parents bought it for me as a birthday present. I got the "plain" pin (mine does have the raised hands).
The second is one I won from EBay (thanks to Jennie's mom who was bidding on it for me while Jennie and I were driving to Anaheim to go to Disneyland). The pin is 1915 and belonged to Edie Bovee from Pi chapter. It is the pin with pearls all the way around, (it has four pearls in between the points). It is an absolutely gorgeous pin. No raised hands but just being able to compare it to the pin I got in 1998 is amazing.
As for pins I want, there are actually three:
(I'm copying the descriptions straight from the order form I got from EO with the pictures of the badges)
1. Alternating Pearl with Syn. Sapphires
2. Crown Set Syn. Aquamarines (Aquamarine is my birthstone so maybe I could justify buying this pin for myself as a birthday present).
3. Crown Set Diamonds (If I win the lottery then I will buy myself this one. Or I could just do it on my 25th anniversery of being an ADPi
)
As for a guard, I haven't bought a guard yet. I'm not sure when I will or which one I will buy mainly because of the two pins. But when I do buy a guard I would really like to buy the Crown Set Pearl (double letter since I am from DG).
And I have no "stories" about my pin.
