Wow, the badge of SAI is gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen one before now, and it's just incredibly stunning.

I have the plain ZTA badge right now. I'm hoping to get one of the really nice ones with a chain soon.

Our badge is posted on my chapter website. The picture is terribly fuzzy, but you get the idea! The torch has seed pearls
down the center.
Beta Sigma Phi has a different badge for each degree of membership. The one pictured here is the "Ritual of Jewels" badge, the first degree after being a pledge.

I have the plain gold AGD badge:
But I hope to upgrade to the 14-pearl badge soon (hopefully before Convention next year!).
I also have this one :
because the boy finally got me the OX sweetheart badge so I don't have to wear his big bulky one anymore.

My Zeta badge is yellow gold with opals and blue saphire points; the guard is opals. As with others, we are not allowed to make another form of jewelry from our badge. The most gorgeous Zeta pin I have ever seen was diamonds with onyx points - beautiful!
My son's Kappa Sigma pin is yellow gold with emeralds and rubies - except that he ran it through the washing machine and lost some of the jewels. I bought it for him when he was initiated and told him he would have to pay to have it repaired.
My husband's Phi Kappa Sigma pin is plain gold. That is their only choice. Many years ago they did have jeweled pins. I saw one on Ebay a couple of years ago and would have paid almost anything for it; however, I forgot to go online when the auction was almost over because I was watching a basketball game (during NCAA tournament) and someone just barely outbid me. I kick myself every time I think about it. (That is what I get for being a sports fanatic!) Even their National doesn't have one in their collection. Their president's pin is a little larger than the normal pin.

Alpha Sigma Phi's policy on badges is that all are the same size and none of them may be jeweled. In keeping with the non-jeweled badge, they recommend that the chapter guard and officer dangles, if worn, are not jeweled as well.
The official badge:
My badge with Alpha Alpha chapter guard:
The only badge that is larger is that worn by the HSP (chapter president) during the term of his office. It closely approximates the size and design of the original badges worn by our founders in the mid-1800s. If I remember correctly the original badge worn by founder Louis Manigault is worn by the Grand Senior President during his term of office.
The president's badge:
Only the wife or fiancee of a member may wear the badge; other female members of the brother's family (including the wife or fiancee) may wear the Sister Pin, which is adapted from the fraternity badge of Alpha Kappa Pi fraternity. AKPi consolidated with Alpha Sigma Phi in 1946. It is the only fraternity jewelry that may be jeweled.

Mine is the most simple offered...Gold with ruby in the apex of the A! I also want to get a two tone now that they offer them! I wish I had that one as a choice when I initiated but I think it is beautiful!

My badge is white gold (silver) with opals with a plain white gold chapter guard.
This is an upgrade from my first plain silver badge.
