Officer Dangle Question

I wish us fraternity men got to have some kind of recognition medals for positions held.

What do you mean by fraternity men getting to have Position 'pieces'. I thought officer dangles were a sort of widely accepted thing amongst everybody. I have seen several different GLOS that had officer dangles attached to their badge and guard. I guess it just depends on the organization or the chapter. If you want a gavel denoting that you were a President then I dont see who would really stop you if you were so inclined. Or am I way off and you were going along the lines of actual military type medals denoting position or what have you.

AOII doesn't have chapter guards or officer dangles, so I guess they're not that widely accepted.

Actually, AOII used to have officer charms. They were similar to the officer dangles other groups use but AOII does not allow anything attached to the badge so they would have to be on a charm bracelet. I am guessing they are no longer available because they were not selling or something along those lines.

FWIW, I purchased my officer dangles from our official jeweler. They had a chart of about 20-30 different ones. Our current official jeweler makes all the same available to us and anyone else, tho they do offer a couple of ones unique for my group (Section Chair and Regional Directors- gavel with an S and R respectively).

The change on my chapter guard is just too fine to attach the dangles in the links, they have to hangle loose on the chain. I'd live to somehow attach them to individual links, if only to give a little spacing to the 3 dangles I wear.

Well on our campus only the ladies use dangles. But that would be cool if Sigma Nu had specialized military style dangles...I haven't been president (Eminent Commander), I've just been Lieutenant Commander (VP) twice, Recorder (Secretary) once, Alumni Relations once, and Risk Reduction Chair once.

I haven't seen men's dangles on websites either...

I immediately went to grab my badge and see about securing my dangles, but I can't fit the rings they are on through the tiny links in the chain that attaches to the guard! Grrr...........

I took mine to a jeweler and they did it for free. So you might want to look into that

What's the name of your jeweler? Mine wants $9.95 for EACH dangle, and I'm fairly certain that I could fly to Atlanta for what that would cost me!

That's crazy! I just walked into one near my parents' house and they did it for me! It takes like 2 seconds...they hould not charge $10 a DANGLE!!

On second thought, are they charging you to sauder (or however you spell that) the dangles on? Mine are just on there, with the ring closed- if that makes sense...
