I see sites with all the badges & pins (fwiw, I go WILD when people refer to an Alpha Delta Pi pin as a badge!), and they all seem sooo pretty - especially the blinged out ones. I can almost understand pin collectors when I see those sites. Almost.
I really do like the pins that look like something, such as the key, the arrow, the lyre, etc. They are incredible in their simplicity.
I also agree with Tom Earp, about no one really being able to fully appreciate
any given pin without knowing the symbolism behind it.
Of course, I am prejudiced for our Black Diamond, but it's not just the (wonderful!) symbolism - I love how every Alpha Delta Pi can personalize her own pin to match her own personality (and wallet!) - as we have been able to do since 1851 - and yet the diamond itself, and its symbolism brings us all together as one.
