New Badge; Alumni Sister; Need Help

[etadrisophila]

Pardon the crash because I am not a Phi Mu sister:

If I were to acquire a vintage badge, I would want to retain the original engraving on it, even if it meant that my own information would not fit on the badge (in addition to the existing information).

How do others feel?

Yeah, that is such a tricky subject. I know that a lot of people feel that the original information should stay on vintage badges. I had one of my vintage badges engraved with my info because somehow it escaped the original jewelers with no engraving. The rest have the original information intact so I can remember the age and history of my special badges.

LCA Guy, I'll wait for some of the Phi Mus to chime in, but I'd probably wait and let your fiancé decide if she wants to remove the old engraving. I know you've put so much thought and love into this gift, but it may be upsetting to erase history in this way.

As as Phi Mu, I personally wouldn't remove the name of my sister from her badge. But that is me. I would be honored to wear it and continue her legacy.
