Could it possibly be a light shaped like the sorority badge (pin)?

Clarification....
I'm so sorry!!!
A pin light is a light shaped like your badge. For example, ours is shaped exactly like the Chi Omega badge, with white round light bulbs in each spot where a pearl/diamond would be.
I guess they aren't too common (but every single house on our campus has one--maybe it's just an Indiana thing? And that would explain why I can't locate one...hmmm)

Now that I know what they are, I want one!
Look on the back of it and see if you can locate a manufacturer's name. This definitely sounds like a special/made to order sort of thing.

Sounds like teh other houses might know. I've never heard of one.

We have one of those in our house at my campus, shaped exactly like the AXD Quill. Every house on our campus has one too, but we're in Ohio, so it's not just an Indiana thing. I agree with what 33girl said...look for a manufacturer on the light. Or, if you don't want to ask the other houses on your campus, you might even want to try to find one of your alumnae who was around when the light was originally bought.

Is it the lightbulb itself that is burned out? Or is it an electrical problem? I think someone mentioned an electrician earlier in the thread, but I was going to say, if the lightbulb itself is burned out, bring in the burned out bulb to a lighting store, they should be able to help you (eta: the bulb itself might be a bit unusual, so the lighting staff could compare it and sell you a new one).
I really like both the Sigma Kappa & KAT lights...very cool. I'd love to see the XO one, if you have a photo.

Have the badge lights been around University of Kentucky for awhile? I stayed at the Alpha Gam chapter there for a few days while I was in undergrad (this would have been in the early 90s), and I don't recall a badge light on our chapter house...or on any other chapter house either. (Perhaps I just didn't notice??)

Not every house have had the lights. But they have been on campus at least since the mid to late '70s. Frankly, I don't recall y'all - Alpha Gamma Delta - having one. But that doesn't mean y'all didn't. Some houses did, while others did not. And you might not have really notice the badge "lights" unless it was night.
For what it is worth, none of the UK pictures posted in daylight really do the badges justice. Seeing them at night is really amazing.
