Dangles...

[AChiOAlumna]

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping someone will know how to help...

I'm looking for a company that sells dangles for our badges/chapter guards...does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks so much!! This board is SUCH a great resource!! I'm only sorry I didn't find it sooner!!!

Also, I don't know what specifically you're looking for, other than companies that sell dangles, but here is a thread on dangles. Just thought it might be helpful.

Thanks again!

I am currently the President of my Alumnae chapter and thought for the holidays I would give my board dangles as a gift of appreciation...I just couldn't find any sites that had them...

The site you provided had great dangles...thanks!

Masters of Design is the only one I know of.

They have a pretty wide selection.

There are other companies out there, such as AlphaGold and I think Greek101 that will sell you the dangles and the chapter guards, but some places you have to watch out b/c they're a bit pricer and they don't look as good as the ones fom MOD. I like ordering from MOD b/c I know it's going to be good quality, and they have a lifetime guarantee. My clasp fell off of my badge (eek!) and I sent it back to be fixed, free of charge.

Alpha Delta Pi has our own set of dangles - maybe you should check to see if your GLOs do, too. We have some "ADPi specific" dangles (ie: 150th anniversary), and you might have some similar ones.

Plus, why not give your HQ the money rather than Masters of Design or such - if you can?

I agree. For Alpha Xi, we can't purchase dangles through our HQ. But I think that since MOD is a sponsored/licensed vendor, every purchase we make through them, a % goes back to AZD. So that's something else to check into.

I have already contacted my HQ, but I haven't gotten a response as of yet...so I was looking for a back-up plan in case I don't hear anything from them....

Thanks for the ideas everyone!!

That's a great idea! I know our website also has "official" licensed vendors...I'll check into this too!

Everyone here is great!!

Whatever company makes your badge (for D Phi E, masters of design), that's where we get our dangles. And in our licensing agreement with them, we get a %, so if you've got that, no need to go through HQs.

Good luck...what a sweet gesture.

Thanks for this information..I'm looking into where we get our badges from..if it's MOD, then that's where I'll be going!

It appears that your organization's jeweler, like so many of ours, is Butt Patterson and Auld:
