Another question: do your badges have a little gold loop on the back of them? Does it have a particular purpose or is it just part of the design of the badge?

It may not be tradition at your chapter, but in my chapter everyone wore chapter-letter guards. The gold loop is to attach the chain for the pin guard.

We wear guards too, but there doesn't seem to be any way to hook the chain onto the loop without bending that part of the chain.

When I bought my original badge, back when the earth was still cooling, if you ordered a chapter letter guard, they attached it to the loop on the back of the badge.

I recently took it to my local jeweler and had them put a clasp on the little chain so that I can take off the guard and wear the badge on my necklace adapter - or put the guard back on and wear it "full regalia," with all my dangles!
