In Member Services of our website I only found mention of Initiated Members being eligible to wear the Badge and Armorial Bearings. I did learn something from looking in my New Member Guide, the Armorial Bearings were only supposed to be worn on clothing or jewelry. The few items I have with the Armorial Bearings are neither clothing or jewelry, oops.
The other thing in The Quarterly article that struck me was the opening sentence "Before Alpha Gamma Delta introduced an official
brand (or visual identity), the Armorial Bearings served as the Fraternity’s first visual mark. It appears on many of the Fraternity’s earliest documents as the symbolic image of Alpha Gamma Delta." Same issue highlights events in May 1904, and our Founding Sisters appeared to have designed and ordered our monogram style badge to wear May 30th 107 years ago. I think of our badge as the original brand/visual identity, not only as it was there in 1904, but more sisters will wear it than the Armorial Bearings, and therefore more people will recognize us by our jewelry.
I'm curious about our upcoming roll out of new branding material. Please let it include a squirrel, please, please, please.

I didn't know any of that...and I can't imagine it would be changed either, just couldn't say for sure.
And I want more squirrels, too. I avoid items with letters for the most part (clothing wise anyway) since I have more than enough already, but I'd love some squirrels.
