NPC Badge Question?

[ForeverRoses]

That is correct- AOII prohibits anything being attached to the badge. We do have a small "guard" on the back of the badge that is supposed to help it from falling off, but most of my sisters never used it correctly!

I have some that have their Coat of Arms as a guard.

LXA allows a local Badge to be attatched as a guard.

But, something to hold it on not to be lost.

Many on ebay can be found and wonder if stolen, lost, or a passed member?

Too bad those aren't NPC badges...

No, but guards hold for both do they not?

Using an explantion to try to help.

But it isn't. And it just makes people mad at you for butting in on any thread talking about NPC. Heck, I butt in on a lot of threads, but not every IFC thread out there.

Is it still accepted for a member who is pinned to wear her SO's badge as a guard? Some people did that when I was an undergrad.

Who says you don't bleed for your GLO? LOL

I know of several alums who wear their husband's fraternity pin below the Badge, but not as a guard.

All of the NPC organizations have rules stipulating that only initiated members may wear the badge. Is this rule not common with IFC organizations? Or is an exception made for significant others?

Are there other organizations besides AGD that allow their alumnae to wear the Badge in ways other than the traditional way?

Mine is set in a circle pendant, and it includes my chapter guard and dangles as well. I also have a sister in my alum chapter that had her Badge set in a ring.

ADPi has the option to set your badge in a ring or on a pendant for a necklace, too.

That is neat.

It gives Members a way to wear their GLO Badges other than wearing Badges only at certain times when they can show it always and daily.

I've seen DG and Kappa alums wear their badges mounted on a necklace.

if i remember correctly, Phi Sigma Sigma will allow a member to use the badge in a necklace setting (other than the traditional way) and that's it.

i do know that to be allowed in ritual, you must have the proper jewelry closest to your heart - therefore no rings, earrings, braclets, etc. are acceptable.

Did you have yours perm. set in the pendant? I HAD an open circle pendant (stolen) which I would like to get a replacement. The circle option is so nice...no pin holes in clothes and worrying about your badge falling off. We've been chatting a bit about this in the AGD forum.
