Eeek. I've been trying to remember where I got the mouse pad, and I can't!! I checked greek101.com and greekgiftsetc.com because I think I've purchased stuff from both of them, but I didn't see mouse pads. I'll keep looking, and let you know if I find anything.

Ahh, well it's okay. I guess I wasn't meant to have an Alpha Phi mouse pad.

Hehehe, j/k. Thanks for looking though.

There's a white gold badge?! I've never seen one (well, not at Masters of Design's site, anyway). I'd actually love to see a two tone white & yellow gold badge (white A, yellow Phi), but I'd gladly take a white one. Heck, at this point, I'd settle for ANY badge!

I have a gold pearl badge I got at initiation and I have a white gold diamond badge which I love. I wear my badges OFTEN and I wear silver and gold jewelry...SO I have one of each...I also am fortunate to have a regional pin (lazy Phi replica) as I am on the regional team for the PNW.

Last year I wore my pin to school...(I am a K teacher) and one of my little girls wanted one just like it because her name started with an A...Well, I told her when she goes to college, she can join a special group called a sorority and the one that has an A in the badge is called Alpha Phi! Geez, rushing in kindergarten!!!!

I love each of my badges and wear them all the time - on bad days it gives me strength on good days it makes me feel glad! Sentimental yes, silly of course, but so much fun...

AOE Always.

Since my sponsor is going to be incommunicado for two weeks until she finishes a big project at work, will someone PM me the price list for badges? I'm impatient - what can I say!

Also - even though I'm not (yet) an initiated member, can I request an Alpha Phi catalogue from Masters of Design?

Maharet · #7 01-02-2003, 02:42 PM

Sorry - tried to PM you and comp froze....So I'll post a reply.

I paid about $235 for my white gold and diamond badge - my mom paid a little less for a yellow gold badge with diamonds and pearls (it is a pretty one!)...You can call EO and speak to Samantha about prices and yes you can get a catalog from Masters of Design...Look up their website www.mastersofdesign.com for badge options...Good luck. I know my badges mean the world to me!!! M of D is a very friendly company to do business with, but when ordering badges it has to be through EO - any other items you can purchase yourself...You can wear A-Phi letters now!

Good luck and best wishes always.

Thanks for the information, Maharet! $235 works out to about $370 Canadian, so it'll be a long time before I can get a white gold badge with stones.

I'm guessing that the white gold badge without stones is less than that?

Wow, a white and yellow gold badge sounds beautiful.

I really want to upgrade my badge but it was an expensive Christmas. Also, I don't want to get anything too flashy yet because I don't want it to seem as if I'm trying to show off. When I'm alumni I'd really like to get the badge with the diamond in it... maybe lots of diamonds, but I'm not sure. I've been drooling over the Masters of Design catalog the past few days and I just ordered my chapter guard with my officer dangles (Historian, Athletics Chairman, and Chaplain). It was so hard to decide if I wanted the plain guard or the etched one and finally I just went with the plain (since the badge is plain).

I have a question... in the Masters of Design Catalog they had a cross as the dangle for Chaplain, but when I got the A Phi-specific one the dangle was a candle, which was marked "Master of Ritual" in the general catalog. I ordered the Master of Ritual one anyway, because that really is what I do, and also I know that in the past some sisters have been uncomfortable with anything pertaining to religion and I didn't want to give people the idea that the office was a religious one (even though I am a Christian), instead of a spiritual one. Have you seen either of these on collegians or alumnae? I just thought I'd ask since I wasn't expecting it to be different.

Anyway, I love our badge and I love our jewelry!

Samantha at the office has the complete price list for badges and I know I have a copy somewhere around here but not handy. I *believe* getting a white gold badge is only $10 more than a yellow gold badge, but I don't think you can get a yellow and white gold badge. My understanding is that white gold badges originated as evening dress badges and that is why we are still able to order them. I have a yellow gold and pearl regular badge and a lazy phi in yellow gold with turquoise (I got it before I realized you can order white gold and pearls so now I want to order another badge).

Anyway, happy ordering!

astroAPhi...back in my day (which wasn't THAT long ago, right Maharet?

) the cross was more prevalent than the candle for chaplain, and the paddle was more prevalent than the clasped hands for the New Member Educator. I personally think it's just the evolution of political correctness, but if someone knows the story behind the trivia please share! There are indeed several offices which have alternate symbols used as dangles. AlphaGold shows most of them.

What is AlphaGold?

a CA in CA · #14 01-07-2003, 04:21 PM

It's another company that carries general fraternity jewelry.

www.alphagold.com

When I was a collegiate I bought all my stuff from them because they were cheaper, they had unique items, and frankly they bent over backwards for my business.
