I would have to say it is definetly my lavalier! I got it from my little for my big sis present after she was initiated. It replaced the one I gave her that I got from my big. I wear mine 24/7 along with my family pearl charm that I got from my grand big. Everyone in our family has the same pearl charm, it is the grand bigs responsability to get it, so I always feel special that not only do I have my sorority so close to my heart but my soror family who I love as well!

That's easy.... my badge! It's such an honor to wear it!

It WILL be one of these as soon as I decide (and get enough money to afford one of them).

Pearl & Onyx Style Badge

Emerald and Diamond Style Badge

I'm currently leaning towards the first of the two..

I like the first one. I think the simplicity of the onyx is nice. Too many different jewls on a badge tends to make it look like a christmas tree.

I agree.. it's a little too much. Also pearl and onyx will go with whatever suit/tie I'm wearing at the time. I can see where emeralds might clash.

Oh my gosh

You mean guys actually worry about suits and ties... and even think about what gems will clash with them?

Would you like to have a chat with my SigEp husband someday about this stuff?

Sometimes I worry about letting him out of the house without a quick once over to make sure he's not a complete embarrassment. He's gotten better over the years... but to have him actually talk about suits/ties and matching gems.... never... That's what I get for marrying an island boy!

I like the first one too. Good choice

I see some people who wear their fraternity badges with teeshirts, and I cringe every time.

We HAVE to be wearing tie, and I belive suitcoat(for me, if I'm wearing a tie, I wear a suit/suitcoat.) If you are going to dress up, you might as well look good! I think the badge is a wonderful and beautiful thing. I'd want it to look good. I get many compliments when I wear my badge, though most people have no idea what it is at first.

ROFL! I think we married twins

My husband is so fashion blind that I have to pick out his clothes before bed at night. It's scary if I am sick or something and can't do it.

My favorite NEW item is Delta Zeta's Centennial Pin. It's an design from back in the 1920s (I think) that was remade for our Centennial. I got one at a Conference back in February.

My old fave is my badge will all my dangles. Someone once said it was tacky to display every single dangle you have, but I wear them proudly

They don't make me hunch over...but I have many more years and DZ goals left to conquer. LOL.

My favorite used to be my lavalier. The senior class got one for every person in my initiation class, and it was the sweetest thing. But I lost it about a year ago and haven't gotten another to replace it. Since then, my badge has been my favorite. When I was out of school, I found excuses to dress up and wear it and people would always compliment me and ask about it. It makes me so proud everytime I wear it and I love knowing that each of my sisters takes that same pride.

My lavalier that was huge was my favorite item, but then I lost it.
Then it was my Sigma Nu drop that my bf dropped me with - but then I lost that too (And it was gold

).
Right now it's my Owl pendant that I got the day I pledged ~ I lost it and a year later I found it! So I wear it all the time.
My other favorite is my Chi O Flip-Flops ~ It's a must and an always! Regardless of whatever or wherever I am, I always have something - even if it's small to represent my sorority!

My badge, it's white gold with pearls and emeralds it is a pendent that is on a short necklace, super cute and I too stand a little taller when I wear it.

My favorite thing to wear is my lavelier. It was passed down to me from my Big Sister and it's several generations old. I'm one of the few in the sorority who has one of this size and design.

My favorite item is the Messenger Bag with our Greek letters embroidered on it and it has the full name written out in cursive underneath. It is so cool,a black bag with pink writing.
