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."

I just love those diamond outlines of certain badge shapes! OMG!!
Mr. BSB just returned from one of his travels with a very pretty circle necklace with diamonds around the circle (Anniversary gift). I will pretend that is my "AGD necklace" since we have circles in our crest !

That's the closest most members will get to the diamonds -- Crown Pearl with Diamond Points.
The all-diamond Badge can only be worn by the International President.

I wish this badge option was available when I was an undergrad.
I also love the Plain badge with one tiffany diamond.
For other NPC GLOs, I think the Tri-Delt badge with the trident guard is so sharp looking, the Gamma Phi Badge is very pretty and the Pi-Phis and Kappas when they wear multiple keys or arrows looks very neat too. I just love to look at all the badges and jewelry for all the orgs...

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?

But, no matter the GLO, they really stand out!
My badge is about the size of my thumb nail too, safe to say.

I've only ever seen pictures of our "real" badge, although I connected with a '72 alum who has a pearl circle badge that I hope she'll show to me. Our badges and the tradition of badges has been sadly lost at Otterbein. Our current badges are probably about the size of a quarter, maybe smaller, just Tau Delta written in script and underlined by a rose.

Your badge sounds very pretty and unique.
Has your sorority ever thought about trying to bring the pearl circle badge back, or at least incorporating part of it into the current design?
