Susan314,

If you haven't seen one even in a photo, in the thread on pictures of houses when I think BettyDavisEyes, posted pictures of a bunch of houses by GLO, in the Alpha Gam section there's a picture of a pin light of our badge in the second to bottom picture.

I hadn't seen one before, as far as I know, but now I think every chapter should have one.

OK, now THAT is impressive.

The Oklahoma State chapter of Tri-Delt had their 3 Delta's on the front of the house, and they had a backlight to them that looked BADASS at night. I know it's not a pin-light, but hela cool non theless.

Badge Lights at Kentucky

That's the old house on Woodlawn, isn't it? Do they have a new one on the new house?

I can remember going by the Sigma Chi house as a freshman and getting a giggle over how much the badge light looked liked those "Jesus Saves" lights on country churches.

In answer to other questions: The Zeta light was brass and enamel, with lights all around the shield like pearls. I believe the crown and greek letters in the center were backlit. I don't think there was any wood in it. We had to crawl out on the portico from time to time to hang banners, and I banged my shins on it more than once.

I'm sure ours came from a sign company or lighting company. I have no idea where it ended up.

Lisa, did Sigma Kappa have it centered on the portico, or on the side of the house?

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.
