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 just took a picture of my daughter in front of my house with the giant key in the background.
I'd post it, but my daughter is in the picture and I'd cut out too much of the house if I edited her out!

Could you make a copy of the picture and just paint your daughter a color or something so we can't see identifying features?

Thank you everyone for your suggestions!! 
I looked in our House Corp records--it was a gift from our founding sisters in1987. In the records I have, we have no mention of where it was made or by whom. I also spoke with our housemother tonight (she was instrumental in bring Chi Omega to Hanover's campus) and she also mentioned that it was a gift from the girls and that she has no idea where it came from. Like many of you, she suggested that I contact our Executive Headquarters, which I will do tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help. I absolutely love our pin light--on a campus with identical (college-owned) houses, it is the only thing that identifies us as Chi Omegas! Luckily we still have one, it's just in such a state of disrepair that I'm hesitant to plug it in--I'm afraid the girls will set the house on fire!!
Once I find the information, I will be sure to post it on here--I think there may be some other pin lights ordered in the near future.

hanover_xo, thanks so much for this thread. I never knew "pin lights" existed.
Since the picture of the KAT pin light was posted, I was hoping to find an ADPi one.. and luckily, we have a chapter at Hanover!!
(yes... i am a nerd!)

We have one in our Storage Room, but ever since we were forced into a suite, we don't use it. Part of our Senior Project was refinishing it, and I think it's used for Recruitment now.
Ours was made like HBADPi said her house's was.

You're awesome! I really want one now, or at least to find out where to get one so I can donate it to my chapter's house up here. I love our badge

If I had any better carpentry skills, that would be really easy to make.
