I don't think they could get any crappier from when I was initiated in 2002 - however, I bought an antique badge off ebay from when Balfour was doing our badges and it is 1000x better. The gold doesn't look cheap, the ASA letters are actually engraved into the badge, and the pearls are set so much nicer. Bonus that I found one from my chapter that already had a chapter guard welded to it.
We have the horseshoe and the kidney as well. I didn't complain about those, because at least they have letters on them. If I saw someone wearing one, I would still know they were an ASA. I do actually like some of the badge-outline pendants that they have. An ASA would recognize it, but it doesn't shout "I can't let go of college". I have a crest lavaliere that has letters on the back that I wear every day, but the only people who generally ever ask about it are Greeks. A non Greek probably would have no clue what it was.
