aopirose...what do the colony pins look like? Are they the same as our new member pins? I've read about these colony pins but have never seen one and never heard of them refered to as new member pins, so I always wondered if they were the same. Do you know?

Our colony member pins are roses and look similar to this http://www.aoiiemporium.com/emporium...?idproduct=401 . They will use these pins until the chapter is installed. After that, NMs will use the sheaf.

Interesting...have they always done this? I remember that my chapter withheld roses from us as NMs since we didn't have a crest like other orgs. I have to get over that since it's obviously not an international rule!

I'm so glad to finally know what the colony pin is! I've been wondering for about a year. It's nice to have access to sisters in the know! Thanks, y'all!

That's why we're here! Besides, so few of us are lucky enough to wear a colony pin or even see one up close and personal!

Do the colony founders get to keep their colony pins after being installed?

Not always. This colony pin wasn't designed until 1959. I don't know the full story but it was designed for the colonization of Upsilon Alpha and has been in use ever since. It was a special circumstance so not even your chapter founders got to wear it. The only difference between the colony pin and the picture I linked is that there are no letters on the colony pin.
