What Does Your Basic Badge Look Like?

Somehow your AGD plain badge seems a little too plain; much prefer your letters in their jeweled varieties.

Oh no, I disagree! I think there is a very simple beauty to the "plain" badges. I think they are even more beautiful than some of the blinged out versions. The design of the badge really stands out.

Ditto. I have the plain gold Gamma Phi Beta badge for that very reason. I think that some of our blinged out badges are a little too busy for my taste. It's especially hard to see our letters on the all pearl one, but I think if just the Phi is set in all pearl or all pearl and stone points, it looks fantastic!

When I was initiatated in 1974 all I could afford was the plain badge. When I finally had some money as an alum, I bought a crown pearl AGD badge. When my four daughters initiated in 1997-2003, their chapter tradition was a plain badge. I love them all!

You have four AGD daughters??? That's wonderful! Did you and the girls get to attend the others' initiations? (that's phrased really awkwardly; I hope you can figure out what I was trying to say! lol)
