What kind of badge do you have?

My chapter is ordering badges and I was wondering what everyone has!
Does anyone still wear it on a regular basis (I'd love to get mine made into a necklace when I graduate)?
What was the most popular one of your pledge class?

I got the white gold with pearls in each corner. I'm not sure what the most popular was in our class. A lot of people got the scroll borders (which is pretty too). I don't wear mine currently, but would love to get it fitted for a necklace.

I don't wear much gold, so I took that into consideration.

Mine's the yellow gold with alternating pearls and garnets (or are they rubies? whatever).

I have the plain gold scroll badge. We didn't have the SS and WG options when I pledged. I went with the plain one due to $ but plan to upgrade for my 10yr initiation anniversery. (Either all pearls or alternating pearl and garnet)

I think the most popular one was the pearl point, but I do remember a lot just getting the scroll badge too.

Ooh I had a long debate over whether to get the alternating pearls and garnets or to get the pearls with the garnet points... I chose the latter. I liked the garnets because they looked like rubies and I just love rubies. Although I only wear silver, I think gold looks more formal so that's what I chose. Soo excited for my badge to come, but I heard they won't arrive till spring break.

Most of my sisters chose the alternating or the pearl one. Few chose the scrolls.

Till spring break?!?!? Wow that's a while. We tried to get ours by initiation but I think that was only successful once while I was there. But we did get our badges either a few weeks later or begining of January.

How is your new member season going?

We wore our big's badges at initiation and then ours took a while to get in too. Depended on the pledge mom er.. VPNME... and how quick she was on that.

If I upgrade I'll probably go with Pearls and something else in the points or all pearls

I'm having an AWESOME time!!! This is our week of suspense and I get my big on Friday!!!! SOO excited!!! I'm leaving now to get another little present. So far I've gotten a board (for push pins), a photo album and a pillow!!! Each big makes the same thing for their little, but in the little's favorite colors, and attaches clues to who the big is. Our shoe hunt is on Friday (you all did shoe hunt too?) and then we're all going indoor skydiving on Saturday as a sisterhood social with our new bigs!!!

We did a yarn tangle where you'd follow the yarn to an object or piece of clothing, then the bigs would take turns revealing their object and occasionally messing with girls minds. If they thought that the little had figured it out, they'd swap with someone else and swap back after everyone was confused.

That sounds awesome! I did the sky diving thing once and it was so much fun!!!

We didn't do a shoe hunt or yarn tangle. We actually weren't told when reveal would be. We had this "meeting" where each of us had to go talk to the advisor alone. Ends up it really was the reveal and we walk into this dark room where all the sisters are in a big circle and you basically do a candle lighting where you walk around inside the circle with a candle and then your big jumps out and blows it out (puts her hand over it since we had to start using electirc). It was really cool.

I could've sworn that the alternating pin is reserved for something special & isn't intended for everyone? I'm pretty sure they are because I remember filling out my request form & I think it said something about that on there. I'll have to look it up later.

Anyway, I've got this one:

Drolefille · #15 10-12-2006, 05:25 PM

I think that's diamonds and rubies, not pearls and rubies/garnets
