Since I still don't have a badge...
- My lavalier (I have a different styled one than most, and I love it...GPBoy gave it to me for Christmas and it is on a chain my dad gave me)
- My heart-shaped silver pin box with Swarkovski (sp?) crystals - also from GPBoy
- Pink Gamma Phi frame that I got from my sister-mom for initiation - has a picture of my pledge class on Formal Pinning in it

Favorite things
1. My badge (duh).
2. My bid card & Initiation certificate-- I'm getting them framed together.
3. My Initiation book- It's got a page made by each member of the chapter and was given to me at my Initiation.
4. My Kappa picture frame that's got a photo of my big & me at my pledging in it-- also given to me at Initiation.
5. My Convention 2002 Charm-- We get charms at each Convention; some people have them made into bracelets. I've only got one (so far), and I wear it with my lavalier.
Most often worn/used things
1. My Kappa tattoo
2. My Kappa flip-flops.
3. My Kappa windbreaker.

Mine are.....
...1) my badge and all the attached dangles etc
2) a gold and silver beaded Gamma Phi Beta bracelet that another Gamma Phi made and sold (in mass quantity and many styles) for her alum chapter at our recent convention - I wear it all the time -- even had this sister make a red and green glass beaded Gamma Phi bracelet made to wear during the holidays!
3) my Southern Cal class ring I bought for a HUGE chunk o' change back in 1976 -- I had it made special with my greek letters GFB proudly emblazoned across the garnet stone -- I very very rarely take it off!
This is a fun topic

Another one of my favorite greek items is the paddle that my little sister gave to me when she was initiated.

I never take mine off either. I love it so much.
The other thing I love is the butterfly shaped candle holder. It's shaped like a butterfly and the wax is of our colors. It was one of my new member gifts.

My favorite thing would definately be my lavalier. I never take it off unless where I am going isn't um, an appropriate place to wear it (ie. a bar...)
Other things I love *almost* as much would be...
*My stuffed lion that my DG friend Rachel made me when I got initiated, she made it at Build-A-Bear and it growls when you push his tummy, and he has a pink bow in one ear and a white one in the other, oh yea and a pink bandana around his neck.
*My Phi Mu flip flops....sooo comfy
*My Phi Mu-FIJI greek week t-shirt from last year....fav shirt ever!!! A close runner up is our crush party t-shirt from the DG, Tri Delt, G Phi, Phi Mu crush party this year
*The red shorts that I designed and had made as formal party favors....sooooo comfy, I love 'em! They have our logo for formal on the front and then our greek letters on the butt....very cute!
Ahh! I have SO much fun Phi Mu stuff, I could sit here and go on FOREVER b/c I love it all so much, but I'll quit my yapping now.

I am not sure -- the alum chapter that sold them at Convention was from Iowa -- where can I see the ones Chicago is selling?

I have one of those lavileres that makes a circle, and I love it.
Plus, my Kappa Sigma gave me one of those watercolors on e-bay. I just looked and there isn't one up now... but it's a bunch of pink carnations and underneath the words, "having a sister means never standing alone." beautiful.

That is the bracelet I was thinking of getting, because I ordered the two-tone badge!  I want to get more Gamma Phi jewelry, I am thinking of asking for a ring from my parents for my birthday.
