Favorite item (other than badge)

What is your favorite GLO item other than (of course) your badge?

I think mine would have to be my pledge book, back from the bad ol' days when pledges were hazed by having to interview every member and get their signature. I learned so much about my sisters!

Other than my badge, I would have to say my family mug. In my chapter, mugs are given to pledges by their father/big. Mine is an important part of my pledge period.

BTW, i know most pledges get paddles from their dads/bigs, but we actually give them to our dads.

So many to choose from, but probably my framed copy of our Creed. It keeps me grounded.

I have a ton, but my favorite is my boat given to me by my Big (i.e. my chapter decorates and exchanges them like paddles).

Other than my badges, my most prized SAI/Phi Sig stuff is-

My SAI bid card which I had beautifully framed with red and white in a very pretty black frame. It hangs above my desk so I can oogle at it ever day.

Then again, when I went to headquaters two weeks ago and got a personal tour from Ruth Johson, she gave me a bunch of SAI stuff. So, maybe the picture I have of her and I singing the choral is a close second. And, there's also my SAI scrapbook.....gosh, too many choices!

My Phi Sig initiation folder is the most prized phi sig posession I have. Finishing that damn folder was quite the achievement. I will NEVER throw it away. But, then again, I do have my phi sig scrapbook that I love also. Over the weekend, I plan on doing a "Toga Party" page.

My favorite thing is probably a silver charm bracelet that my big gave me for initiation. It has star, palm tree, and crown charms, along with an oval that has our crest on it. I wear that a lot more than letters.

My Life Member certificate. Also, a picture I took of our founder (she's still alive AND comes to conventions).

You mean a TBS founder?? I thought you guys were as old as SAI. No?

I have a bracelet, but honestly... one of my favorite things are my photo albums

Our Founder was born in 1920. The Sorority's anniversary is March 26, 1946. So, we're not as old as you all,

right now, it's a silver necklace with a poodle charm. it's hard to find poodle... anything. well cute poodle stuff. but all time, i'd say our history book - i read it like it's a novel sometimes!

Right now my favorite thing is my sigma flip-flops...I always have then on! It's summer, and I have a major flip-flop addiction!

But other than those and my badge, I'd have to say this crystal sailboat that is on my mantel...it was actually given to me by one of my guy friends right after college...he knew how much Sigma means to me and although he didn't know the exact symbolism of the sailboat, he knew it was on of our symbols. I've had the crystal sailboat for about 10 years now, and every time I think about it, I remember that in life we must move "ever forward"

If I had to choose one item it would have to be a plaque that was given to me by a Brother living in NY, but originally initiated in Fla. The plaque is a Theta Kappa Nu Coat of Arms that looks made of brass mounted onto a larger black wooden badge. He took alot of time and effort to make a few of these and then sent them to about 9 or 10 brothers for Christmas last year. He did all of the polishing of the Crest and actually creating the wooden portion of this plaque, and mine, as I am sure the others that he sent out, is inscribed on the back.

For those of you who dont know, Theta Kappa Nu was one of the largest fraternity mergers in history (or was up until a few years ago) and joined with Lambda Chi Alpha way back in 1939. So to get something as significant as this without ever meeting the Brother in person means alot to me and helps to define a little better in my mind the true meaning of Brotherhood.

Now I just need to post a picture!

my favorite is a little more cryptic...i have a fake candle that holds a special memory, and a beautiful Lambda Psi Delta candle holder that i keep it in.
