I wear mine as much as possible, not just to alum meetings and DG stuff. If I am wearing a blazer were you can put a lapel pin, I put on my plain badge. I also bought one of those circle things that you can put your pin in and wear with a necklace - with my crown pearl badge in it, I always get compliments, and not just from sorority members who recognize it.
Now that I am going through menopause
though, I don't wear jackets as much and haven't worn my badge as much as I used to.
But for Founders Day, I put on ALL the regalia: the crown pearl badge, with the crown pearl chapter guard, with ALL my dangles!
Our badge is just so beautiful, I love wearing it!
