A badge wins, hands down.
In 1985, two of my Brothers gave me a badge for graduation. It was one of the biggest surprises I have ever received. Every time I put on that badge (at least 4 or 5 times a year), I think back to that moment and laugh at the memory. Unfortunately, one of the Brothers passed away about two years ago, but wearing the badge that he gave me helps to keep his memory alive, as it helps to signify the wonderful times that I had as an undergraduate and the incredible times that have occurred as an alumnus.
Oh, by the way, I wore that badge, along with my best man and 5 of my 6 ushers, at my wedding.
