Shoot, I have NINE. How about a 5 year pin?

Not to make anyone feel unloved, but I don't personally think we need any more pins in Alpha Phi. At Convention I realized I was wearing my badge, my 10 year, my Foundation young alum and my 1872. That's a lot of pins. That being said, I have already worn my 10 year pin more than I've worn my 1872.

well you dont have to buy and/or wear EVERY pin Alpha Phi makes. I like having options. Plus, once you get to 25 years, you can pass your 10 year down to a deserving sister!

I realize that I don't have to wear every one and am actually very happy about the 10 year b/c I like it a lot more than the 25 year and I am much more likely to wear it.

Wait what's the 1872 pin?? Never heard of that one.

I do love the young alum pin (begged the parents to donate to the foundation to get it )

Plus the 10 year pin is subtle, I like the fact that the number is roman versus the blatant 25 number. And assuming I live long and prosper for the next two, I like how they are part of the badge (course at that age, I may need help making sure everything is straight )

Anyways, I've got the diamond and pearl badge, which I got for my 21st birthday and that's the one I love the most!

Whoaaaaaa....them there's fightin' words there girlie! JK!

Although I was part of a conversation at convention where a sister mentioned she "needed another boob" for all the pins.

Seriously though I would like to see a very very high quality charm bracelet.

Agreed. I have at least six charms in my jewelry box with nothing to put them on. Maybe a starter bracelet with a starter charm could be the 5 year thing....hmmmmmmm!

Last night I got my 10 year membership certificate to go with my 10 year pin. They are really nice. I am not quite sure what we are supposed to do with them though other than sticking them in a scrapbook.

*POUT*

I haven't got a certificate! I would frame my in an elegant frame and hang next to my membership certificate from when I was initiatied. My home office is a shrine to Alpha Phi with composites of my chapter as well as chapters I have advised. Think of it as an annex to the International archives at the Executive Office.

you can order it through the EO...its on the same order form as the pin...but ordered seperately.
