Badge/Pin Light

[texas*princess]

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:

(it's a huge image, otherwise i'd post it)

those are cool!!!

thanks so much for the pictures!

[UGAalum94]

Yes, thanks for the pictures.

I know this is probably a dumb question to the OP, but did you contact your HQ or IHQ? The two Theta ones look identical which makes me wonder if maybe they're something you'd get internally, rather than having one made.

ETA: reading over it, I realize that it seems pretty stupid to point out that something modeled on the same pin would be identical; of course it would. But they even appear to be the same size, which probably wouldn't happen if they were made locally.

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 AXO House at Arkansas had a gorgeous pin light with big bulbs for each pearl!

I wish I had a picture of the Sigma Kappa light at UK, I love it.

These are so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it before. What a great idea.
