Dangles

Does anyone wear a chapter guard and dangles with their badge? I always wanted dangles, but I never managed to order them.

Which dangles do you have?

I have quite a few actually. I have the 1874 dangle which I got as a collegian. I also have the Ritual Chair dangle and one that has my chapters letters (Gamma Theta).
I haven't been an active alum lately b/c I school, work, & life have managed to railroad all my time but I'm hoping that I'll be active soon.

I have the 1874 dangle (just the first year) but it's gold and my badge is white gold so I don't wear it.

Oh and I don't have a guard... that's a problem too.
Does anyone know if there's a webmaster dangle? I've never seen one.

This link shows the dangles. I think that these are all the dangles that can be ordered.

There's a t-shirt chair dangle! I had no idea.

So if I actually had dangles, I'd have:
President
VPM
CMC (do you think there's a separate dangle for VPM/CMC? I couldn't find one)
T-shirt Chair
Big Sis
1874

I want! I want!

Well this settles it. When I go active again I'm going to get positions based upon how cool the dangle is

Who says you can't just buy the dangle

ETA: there IS a webmaster dangle!

That's new!

I was VPAR and I just have the Alum Secretary dangle (or something like that) its the wreath.

I also have the 1874 and the president's one. I want to get the big sis one too ... but I don't seem to have reason to wear my pin anymore :sigh:

Edit: HEY!!! Don't edit posts when I'm quoting them! Haha

I have the 1874 dangle. I wish they would have had the series of dangles when I was in college so I could "collect them all." I also have a pearl that I got for a 4.0 for my senior year. Whoot whoot! I always wear my dangles and chapter guard when I wear my pin. I worked hard for that pearl darn it!

At our last Founders Day, a very sweet collegiate offered to buy me the other 3 dangles you get from the 1874 society if you're a 4-year member. I declined because she was told that if she bought them for me, she would be ineligible to buy them again for herself.

Still, I do love them and maybe one day I'll be able to get the other 3.

My chapter doesn't do dangles because we don't do guards because 99.9% have the standard gold gloss or sterling silver badge. The VPNME just asks the NMs if they want a silver or gold badge, I think so as not to overwhelm them with expenses. I am the only one in my chapter (at least since 2001) to have a jeweled badge (and I have a chapter guard too). Yep, I might sound really materialistic, but even before I was Greek, I was set on getting a pretty jeweled badge for whichever GLO I joined.

I saw one sister at convention 2 years ago who must have had like 10 dangles on her badge. IMO, too many dangles detract from the beauty of the badge and the guard. I don't have any, but I think I might get some just to collect. I could make a SK charm bracelet with them!

Wow sorry I asked. Forget I bothered posting.

I think she means "just" the basic badge. They're not really encouraging members to spend extra on the guard and other "upgrades"
