As far as I know, yes. When I ordered my jeweled badge off of Masters of Design they didn't ask me for any proof of membership.. (how would they?)

My boyfriend's chapter of Kappa Sig does not provide badges. Many of his brothers (including himself) opted to buy a fraternity ring rather than a badge.

thanks for the help y'all!
.......... rings? Fill me in? and guys, are those cooler? The boyfriend *did* point out (to my incredulous, "WHEN are you going to wear it?! none of your brothers have one!") that his options for showing it off would be limited.

Our Official Vendor is Burr Patterson & Auld. Many GLO's use them and certain pins/badges require you to go through your National Headquarters to purchase them.

Yeah, the rings are pretty expensive.
I think they look pretty damn cool, with the badge engraved on top and the crest on the side; actually, I think more guys have the rings than the badges.

Some badges look really cool on rings. I'm thinking about getting my school ring but putting an engraving of our badge on it.

I have a question about pledge pins. I have mine, so its not a bid deal, but I'm curious. If you wanted to replace a pledge pin, could you do it through a jewler or do you have to go to IHQ?

I imagine that would vary from group to group. We have to relinquish our pledge pins at initiation, when we receive our badges. I know that this is true of a number of other GLOs as well. That said -- for us, badges and pledge pins can only be purchased through our HQ. Other jewelry (like rings) can be purchased directly from our official jeweler (Burr Patterson & Auld). Again, this probably varies from group to group.
Boy, would I love to still have my pledge pin.

I know you can browse the A Phi badges at Masters of Design, but you can only order them through EO.
M.O.D. just came out with an onyx and gold ring that has our monogram on the top. I'd love to have that! I'd also like the double-sided monogram recognition charm to wear as a necklace. Dang, I need to win the lottery.

Kappa Sigma does not provide a badge with the initiation fee. However, many chapters, such as my own, will purchase the standard $19 badge for each new initiate. Unfortunately in my case, these badges are on backorder, and I will not recieve mine for a few more weeks.
There are many variations of the badge concerning which stones, and I think this is awesome...the badge looks its best with jewels and to everyone their own tastes on which jewels they like (or can afford)
The rings are extremely nice but expensive.

Replacement Candidate Pins are $18 or so for us. Orderable through HQ. I believe the actual Full member's badge is $49 or so. I think Masters is asking a lot more for it.
