Favorite item (other than badge)

What is your favorite GLO item other than (of course) your badge?

I think mine would have to be my pledge book, back from the bad ol' days when pledges were hazed by having to interview every member and get their signature. I learned so much about my sisters!

Other than my badge, I would have to say my family mug. In my chapter, mugs are given to pledges by their father/big. Mine is an important part of my pledge period.

BTW, i know most pledges get paddles from their dads/bigs, but we actually give them to our dads.

Wooden Badge we make during initiation week and get signed.

So many to choose from, but probably my framed copy of our Creed. It keeps me grounded.

I have a ton, but my favorite is my boat given to me by my Big (i.e. my chapter decorates and exchanges them like paddles).

Other than my badges, my most prized SAI/Phi Sig stuff is-

My SAI bid card which I had beautifully framed with red and white in a very pretty black frame. It hangs above my desk so I can oogle at it ever day.

Then again, when I went to headquaters two weeks ago and got a personal tour from Ruth Johson, she gave me a bunch of SAI stuff. So, maybe the picture I have of her and I singing the choral is a close second. And, there's also my SAI scrapbook.....gosh, too many choices!

My Phi Sig initiation folder is the most prized phi sig posession I have. Finishing that damn folder was quite the achievement. I will NEVER throw it away. But, then again, I do have my phi sig scrapbook that I love also. Over the weekend, I plan on doing a "Toga Party" page.

I'm liking the new ladybug totes that we just got!

Bumping this thread to proclaim my love for the pair of sweatpants I bought at Convention. These are my fave lounge item.

Those are cute. Better than the letters on the booty

They were sold out at Convention. I got the last purple pair in my size (they had purple with white writing and grey with purple). I didn't see them listed on our vendor's site either. I would still email AlphaHouse though. Paige is awesome and she might be able to order some in if you really want them.

Favorite sentimental -- the lavalier my big sister gave me on reveal night

Favorite non-sentimental -- first edition songbook I found online. It has pink and green ribbons in the center of the book that remain unfaded. They're the exact shade as my pledge ribbons and I was amazed by that small touch.

Two items:
1. The Theta-themed charm bracelet that my big gave to me. I have continued to add to it through the years and now have about 20 charms in various forms of kites, pansies, letters, crests, and even a KAO paddle.

2. "Sixty Years in Kappa Alpha Theta," a hard cover book which was published in 1930. Prices for the book online are typically $75 and higher. A member of my alumnae chapter gave me her edition, that was given to her upon pledging in 1937. On the inside cover it reads: "[alumna name], -whom we have with love and careful thought chosen-. Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, February 20th, 1937." I love the book, but I love that particular alumna even more. I will treasure it until the day I die.

Good bump!

PeppyGPhiB got be thinking about my Chartering memorabilia - all favorites of mine - the picture of the chapter with the Chartering Proclamation hangs above my desk, we all look so happy. I also have an awesome picture of me holding the Chartering Proclamation above my head (think Lion King) after I received it from our "AA" smiling and crying all at the same time that I cherish - I'm so glad someone captured that moment.

However, I think the thing I love more than all of those (and probably even more than my badge, if you can believe it) is my copy of the Cornerstone, our pledge manual. I read it in its entirety the night I received it, and I flip through it at least once a month for inspiration and wisdom.
