Help with a new member pin!

We bulk order all that stuff at the beginning of the year. If somebody loses or breaks their NM pin, we just give them a new one. Just tell your new member educator and she should know where to get you another one.

Now when you are initiated, be more careful with your actual badge. It's much more expensive and more difficult to replace. I think everyone here has once had an "Oh my God WHERE IS MY BADGE?!" moment. It's not fun.

I'll go one better than that. The newly initiated (in my chapter, I do not speak for all) don't get badges straightaway, they have to be ordered, so we use our 'mom''s badges instead. Except my sister-sister (we have the same mom) lost our mom's badge in between initiation and receiving her own. I'm personally surprised I haven't lost mine yet actually.
Wish I could have kept my NM pin, I really liked it.

While SAE's pledge pins ( yes, I will still use that term ) in my day did not have any place to mount a guard, the active ones did/do.

I would strongly suggest getting a guard for pin. Mine has been saved by the guard once or twice.
