The information regarding the evolution of our badges can be found Chapter 9 of your Son of Stars pledge manuals. The current badge we wear is called the Chandler Badge.
"The convention of 1899 made considerable headway toward a uniform badge when it adopted a standard badge manufactured by Roehm and Son of Detroit, under the direction of George M. Chandler, Michigan 1898. While this badge proved popular, the arrangments were not entirely satisfactory; so the 1907 Convention again called upon Major Chandler to head a committee to work on a standard badge. To Major Chandler goes the credit for the careful design of today's standard badge, adopted in 1909. Since 1913, all badged have been manufactured by a sole official jeweler, contracted by the General Fraternity. The current official jeweler is Burr, Patterson & Auld of Eldwood, Ind."
