Ebay Badges

[JenAGD]

I've never heard of an alum pendant! Where do you order them? I'm turning alum this April too!

Jen,

If you go to our website, there is a link to our official jeweler, Burr Patterson Auld. The alumnae pendants are for sale there. There are 2 kinds, if I remember correctly: a solid disk and a circular one that hangs your badge in the middle. I haven't described them very well, but if you go to the site, you'll see what I mean!

I'm trying to decide whether to get a pendant or not. I usually either way my badge the traditional way (when I'm at an AGD function) or I wear it on a lapel.

ahhhhhh...i'm sooooooo freaking sorry. bwg is a member of alpha gam. she only bids on alpha gam pins, and usually, only the important ones (like arc ones) my mistake! here's the e-mail i recieved from her today.


"Yes, you e-mailed me before about whether or not I was an Alpha gam and yes
I am still an Alpha Gam and yes I understand what the Arc of Epsilon Pi
means. I am very good friends with a sister who has earned 2 arc w/ diamonds
and pearl for her years serving on the International Council and for local
Alpha Gam service.I,myself hope to be nominated for one next Convention,
when I will have served seven years. I understand your concern about
non-members bidding on badges but after seeing so many actual Alpha Gams put
badges up for sale on e-bay(which I rank right up there w/ blasphemy) and
after talking with our own Grand President Suzanne Spicer, who has tried to
get e-bay to stop but without success, I just sort of decided what is the
use. When I see a badge I really want I go after it. For awhile I bid on all
badges but you can't afford all of them. I am looking for an older badge to
wear and hope to pass it down through my family. I have in the past notified
international about my ownership of other badges, but they really don't keep
up with them like they should and many are in circulation. Anyway that is my
soapox. I do plan to bid on this badge and rest assured it will be purchased
by an Alpha Gam if I can help it.Thanks for your concern.

Thanks Marissa! Glad to hear she's one of us

Roses to Donya!!! (Did you tell her about joining us on GC?

As for the alumna pendant. I have the open one. Others that I have talked with that had the disc weren't too thrilled with it. It does have the option of taking the badge, ((I assume, I haven't)).

Honestly, I still prefer the "over the heart", but this is definitely more practical and easier to find when in a rush.

Ok, as I said earlier, I am going to try to get a badge on ebay, of course I am not going to try for the arc ones, but If you guys see the ebay Handle DamnGam thats me, I lost mine, and yes if I do find it, I will send it to HQ, or to my new grandkid, if she doesnt have one yet!!! So please, dont think I am horrible collector and try to outbid me!
