Not talking to your group's policy, obviously

, we are allowed to wear our badge on our lapel (and as a necklace or ring) once we are granted Alum. status...and let me tell you, it was WIERD the first time I did it.

I am still debating if I would like to get that ring holder for my badge to wear once and a while...

Wow - I wish we could do that! If we could, I'd get a lot more wear out of my pin! I would so rather see a pin on a lapel than in a drawer.

I have a few pins I've rescued from ebay, and I have one on a pendant - there are always lots of comments when I wear it. Another pin, I plan to have made into a ring. It's one of the plainest version of our diamond; the ones with a lot of pearls or other stones would destroy any hose or other similar fabric.

ASA alums can wear the badge as a ring or pendant - I don't think we have the circle thingy for the pendant though.

OMG the lapel debate again!! Our chapter was always told to never ever ever wear the badge on a lapel, then I go to convention and see our national ritual chair with her pin on her lapel. I never thought of it being a collegian/alum thing - I thought it was that if you are going to keep the jacket on, you can wear it on your lapel. I still don't think I ever could though, too many years of "THOU SHALT NOT" behind me.

I saw it awhile ago on BurrPatt's website, but it's since disappeared. It might have been something that they took upon themselves to do, and then National saw it and said nuh-uh.

From the HJGreek website for ASA:

Not a badge, but it's so gorgeous that it deserves to get posted:

I think that thing is a few thousand $$ when made in genuine diamonds, right?? I know I remember looking and it and drooling.

$477.50. Without the chain.

Still not in my budget.

I envy those of you who can wear your badges as rings or pendants. We are never allowed to turn our badges or NM pins into any other form of jewelry. It's a shame... I still have my NM pin and would love to wear it as a pendant.

That is absolutely stunning.
