Let's talk about badges...I want to order an alum badge. I'm not sure how to go about this. To make a long story short, I haven't, nor will I go through Order but I am now considered an alumna of Sigma Kappa.

I am looking at the sisters only side of the website. I can see all the beautiful badges (that I want so desperately, they're gorgeous!) but nowhere to order an alumna pin.

This thread is now about gloating over how gorgeous our badge is, and helping me figure out alumnae stuff.

Also, I got it right, right? It is alumna?

I think the chapter has to order badges for alumnae. (Not sure if it has to be your own chapter, but I think you order them off the same form as pledge pins.)

Are you near any chapter? You could go through Order with their seniors. Since it's the "Order of the Triangle" Alumna pin you're supposed to go through Order to get it. I've seen articles/emails from HQ where they encourage collegiate and alumnae chapters to work together for women who did not have the opportunity to go through it.

Co-sign! To get an "alumna" pin you need to go through Order of the Triangle at your local chapter when their seniors go alum at the end of a semester. The chapter will order the Order of the Triangle pin for you!

While we're talking about it, I've always wondered...do you wear the Order pin with your badge or do you only wear the Order pin? When I went with another advisor to Founders' Day she wore the Order pin & I wore my badge, and she made a comment that since we're not active anymore then we don't wear our badges???

That doesn't make any sense. Your badge is what ties you all as initiates. I have seen many SK alumnae wear their badges at functions including Angie Guillory. Let me just say that Angie, as a past National President, has the most beautiful badge that I have ever seen. Three rows of diamonds!

Centaur, you could try contacting HQ and asking them directly. Just say that you're an alum and never got a pin and you'd like to purchase one. I bet they'll be able to help (or tell you it isn't possible, one or the other)

Why aren't you doing Order???? You can PM me if you would rather. Often at regional conferences they will do Order since there are so many alumnae that haven't gone through since its a relatively "new" ritual. Also it was approved that alumnae groups can also perform the ritual.

Not true. I often wear both together, actually more often than not. I wear my Order pin to the lower right of my Badge. Sometimes though I just wear the Order pin since my Badge often falls off. (I am planing on buying a blinged out one for my 10 year initiation anniversery.)
