What kind of badge do you have?

Soo excited for my badge to come, but I heard they won't arrive till spring break.

Most of my sisters chose the alternating or the pearl one. Few chose the scrolls.

Till spring break?!?!? Wow that's a while. We tried to get ours by initiation but I think that was only successful once while I was there. But we did get our badges either a few weeks later or begining of January.

How is your new member season going?

I'm having an AWESOME time!!! This is our week of suspense and I get my big on Friday!!!! SOO excited!!! I'm leaving now to get another little present. So far I've gotten a board (for push pins), a photo album and a pillow!!! Each big makes the same thing for their little, but in the little's favorite colors, and attaches clues to who the big is. Our shoe hunt is on Friday (you all did shoe hunt too?) and then we're all going indoor skydiving on Saturday as a sisterhood social with our new bigs!!!

We did a yarn tangle where you'd follow the yarn to an object or piece of clothing, then the bigs would take turns revealing their object and occasionally messing with girls minds. If they thought that the little had figured it out, they'd swap with someone else and swap back after everyone was confused.

I could've sworn that the alternating pin is reserved for something special & isn't intended for everyone? I'm pretty sure they are because I remember filling out my request form & I think it said something about that on there. I'll have to look it up later.

Anyway, I've got this one:

I think that's diamonds and rubies, not pearls and rubies/garnets

Ahh...thanks for the correction!

I have the gold with pearls and 3 amethyst points. It's my family badge - my big, grandbig, and one of my littles have the same one.

ufdale, I'm glad to hear you're having such a good time! The skydiving sounds so cool! I really miss being a collegiate Beta Tau. When is initiation? If I don't have an exam that week, I'd love to come up.

We do yarn tangle around a small section of the chapter house and some of the bigs choose to attach a family shirt or costume jewelry and hints. like for example she and i had matching t-shirts and mardi gras beads.

My little was 1000% convinced her big was someone else and kept telling everyone thats who she though it was, so we made up a bunch of clues that sound like the other sister, but apply to me too. my little was SO shocked to fiind out I was her big! haha.

Okay, back on topic.

I wish i had a WG pin but at the time my NM educator didn't know how to order it in WG.

I've grown to like the YG, though.

I have the super basic one with chapter guard. We didn't have the SS option and WG was more than I wanted to spend.

That sounds awesome! I did the sky diving thing once and it was so much fun!!!

We didn't do a shoe hunt or yarn tangle. We actually weren't told when reveal would be. We had this "meeting" where each of us had to go talk to the advisor alone. Ends up it really was the reveal and we walk into this dark room where all the sisters are in a big circle and you basically do a candle lighting where you walk around inside the circle with a candle and then your big jumps out and blows it out (puts her hand over it since we had to start using electirc). It was really cool.
