Thanks, Leslie!
Since I am on a badge 'theme' the past day or two, here we go for July 27th 2001:
Alpha Gamma Delta has had:
not one...
not two...
but three, count 'em, THREE
pledge pins.
Our first pledge pin was a plain stickpin with our Greek letters across it (similar to AEPhi's Badge). Our Founders disliked it so much that only a few were purchased in the first few months.
Our second pledge pin was designed by J.F Newman in 1904. He also designed our present-day badge. The second pledge pin was almost triangle shaped. This is as best as I can describe it: It had a large Gamma standing straight up. The Alpha and Delta were smaller and sort of leaned diagonally against the Gamma.
At the 1913 Convention, Alpha Gamma Delta authorized the design of a third pledge pin. It is the one we all wore "on a shield, parti per pale, or and vert, a fess, gules." Our most brilliant Emily Butterfield designed it. Is there anything that woman couldn't do?
