Badge/Pin Light

[HBADPi]

I thought she just spelled pen incorrectly and was looking for pen lights...

At my old chapter we made our own pin light. We drilled holes into a piece of plywood and stuck christmas lights where the pearls are typically on our pin. It was about a 3 ft x 3 ft replica but I'm curious, how big are these pin lights? And what are they used for?

I think I'm still confused what it is.

Is it kind of like the Batman signal... except in the shape of your org's pin?

If it's what I think she's talking about, look at the kite above the door and to the right on Theta's house at IU:

Their pin, with lights. Though you can't really see the lights in that picture. I thought that was one of the neatest things about the houses at IU, as just about every sorority seemed to have one outside... sometimes even in lieu of letters.

That's so cool. Now, once we know the answer to the OP's question, we're all going to order them for our chapter houses, aren't we?

Some (most) of the houses at UK had them too. Here's a picture of Kappa Alpha Theta, where you can see the badge light fairly clearly.

These have been around FOREVER on campus. I wouldn't have a clue where to order a new one. Maybe a sign / lighting / neon company?

It looks like this is a picture of IU's DZ with their light lit up, on the left:

You beat me to it!

You may remember that the whole Sigma Chi Badge [The House on Woodlawn Avenue] was one large light. [Sorry, don't have a picture of it.]

Here is another example. The Pi Beta Phi house at Kentucky with their Arrow.

The houses at Brenau Univ. have lights in the shape of badges. Brenau also had a chapter of Chi Omega that closed a few years ago. Perhaps you could locate that house light and acquire it for your chapter.

The White Cross of Sigma Chi at The University of Kentucky.

Actually it is a Pin or Badge light of course.

They are a classy way to show who is living in the House and who is the GLO.

The SX house at my alma mater has one made of stainlees with the pin back lit as the items on the pin are painted on.

I want to get one for our chapter house as the one we made of wood being outside finally rotted out.

Does your school have any type of classes that do wood working or plastic classes?

XO should not be that hard to get made and would look great hanging at the house. How about boy friends, or family members who are handy? If it is out of the elements then it can be cut from wood and hung under a pourch over hang.

The Delta Upsilon fraternity chapter at my school has light up badge on their house. I've always thought it was cool.
