I never joined the 1874 society, but I have a bunch of dangles for offices. They were a big thing in my chapter. You need to get a chapter guard (Masters of Design sells them) - www.mastersofdesign.com
Your dangles hang on the little chain and you attach the other end to a little loop on the back of your badge.
I've lost my 1874 dangle somewhere along the way between moving a couple of times & my parents packing up their entire house & moving everything to Florida. I have reason to believe its somewhere amongst their stuff. I wonder if I could get another one, it would be nice to have.
i have a guard, but no dangles. even though i held like 5 positions that would warrant a dangle. oh well, makes it easier to put my badge into that necklace they sell.
