what about an engraved flask? that would be cool!

At least, not the Radko ones. I prefer the ones with a simple crest on them.

I do like the Radko badge ones - but the Gamma Phi one is not yet available.

So I haven't read this thread in quite some time (A few months at least). I again laughed profusely at the DZ Turtle ornament! Its scary looking!!! This is the first time I have seen the badge ornaments....I think the Gamma Phi and KDs are nice, but am I the only one that this the Pi Beta Phi one looks odd? It just looks poorly done to me. The greek life adviser at my university was a Pi Beta Phi and I always loved looking at her badge! It is so beautiful! I hope they don't attempt to do Theta's badge after the way they did the kite.....

The Pi Phi badge ornament is HORRIBLE!!!! Eeek, take that off the tree pleeeeezzzeee....

Is it just me, or does it look like bad shrink-e-dink (remember the stuff you used to color and then put in the oven and it would reduce in size like 50 times)?
And I really don't get the red tiger stripes on the wings of the arrow...somewhere our founders are spinning in their graves...

Shrink-e-dinks! I remember them fondly...using colored pencils and coloring them in and then putting them on a cookie sheet to "bake" Aw, childhood!

I was just looking for something on Overstock.com, and saw so many necklaces which had one sorority or another's symbol(s), I couldn't begin to list them all!

I just wish I could google "diamond" and get the <> shape, instead of the gem!

For those who collect penguins, or other Christmas gifties: http://www.solutions.com has those little porcelian gift box ornaments (to hide a small item) in various sizes/styles. If you buy 12, you get an exclusive one with a penguin & igloo.

They have two new ones with lighted birthday cake, and with a lighted Christmas tree: here and

Here are all 36.

Here's the email I got about them, with the bonus penquin & igloo and the code you need to order them:

Enjoy!

True confessions time...when I was in college, I was in charge of skit night one year during recruitment. I spent the summer making shrinky-dink nametags for all of our members that would match our skit. It was a different time back then.

I had never played with shrinky dinks before, and haven't since! Wonder if they till make them? That would be fun to do with my kids in a few years!

Yes they do, my kids love to make key chain charms out of shrinky dinks. You can buy them at Barnes & Noble in the kids section or just about any craft store.
