I envy those of you who can wear your badges as rings or pendants. We are never allowed to turn our badges or NM pins into any other form of jewelry. It's a shame... I still have my NM pin and would love to wear it as a pendant.

Speaking of new member pins. . . I remember I lost my first degree pin and cried for hours. The sisters assured me it was no big deal, but I still remember how upset I was. I guess that was just me--I also got hysterical at pref party.

The funniest thing about it was that I wasn't even the most emotional--we had another girl who always cried at everything, and they even did a parody song about her called "No Kami No Cry."

We're not permitted to keep our Alpha pins, but our Alumnae Association at the time I was initiated bought all of ours, and put them on pretty little frames as an initiation gift. It was really cute, and the next Alpha class got brand new pins!
I can remember thinking, "I wonder who wore this before I got it?" - a very cool feeling!

This is the SK badge on pendant
And the TriDelta badge on pendant
And the TriDelta pendant with shinies
Does anyone recall who makes the diamond Triangle for Sigma Kappa. Looks a lot like the above except solid, not outlined. I didn't see it at HJGreek.com
Oh and I found the Tri Delta ring, but it doesn't show it with the badge

I love the badge on a ring. Except I already have mine soderd(so off on the spelling, but anyway) to my Trident. I keep trying to bid on another badge on ebay, so that I can have that one made into a ring (and still keep it within the Fraternity) but it keeps going out of my price range.
I LOVE the Delta Diamond, but doubt I'll be getting that anytime soon either.

Ye know, I guess I have a very poor idea of how large these badges really are! I guess it is because I've only ever seen an Alpha Xi quill and a Phi Tau badge in person and they were of a fair size (both antique). But I'm shocked by the "scale" of them when sellers compare them to pennies on e-bay...I don't know why I was envisioning them being quite a bit larger.

It is hard to judge the size of the badges in pictures...they generally are smaller than people think they would be. I know the DG badge is the same height as a dime (I just measured it )

Yeah...they're tiny! My lyre badge is about the size of my thumbnail, and my chapter guard is about the size of a quarter of my pinky nail (yes, I'm looking at it now  ) The letters on my badge are like, one millimeter tall.
How big is your badge?

I have an A Xi quill from 1912 and it's even smaller than the ones worn now. It's maybe an inch long.
