Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

Chapter guards are just letters. They don't have to be made by anyone in particular. Once, I was looking for a white gold, pearled, double letter guard, but they didn't show one for LCA. So I just searched the site until I found one for another GLO - I think it was Delta Gamma sorority - and ordered it. Not cheap, cost like $104 as I recall. But my order was filled and it arrived by UPS, sent from Delta Gamma HQ. Whatever it takes.

Perhaps ill keep my nativity about the quality. I would hate to find out that my grand mother got ripped off 32 years ago. I would love to get one of those blinged out chapter guards to go with the badge, cant replace grandma's though. I was talking to my mother about it on the phone yesterday, she was like, well yea its not silver it would have tarnished a long time ago. I never took the class on how to identify the composition of jewelry.
