^^ Who'd ever guess that?
I told all of my dangles (small chapter = lots of dangles) to my jeweler and was told that I'd have to get a new chain, because the one I have is too weak.
Then, it would have been $9.95 to connect each dangle.
There's a woman at every Panhellenic luncheon - I want to say that she's an Alpha Phi. She has her pin, a 4" chain, then her guard, with every dangle she's earned. She claims to wear it to work and other fancy occasions, on her lapel. Now, I don't know of a sorority who allows a pin to be worn on a lapel (we were, very briefly, and only if the blazer was buttoned shut), but frankly, it's stunning. You'd never know it's a sorority pin, and she gets questions about it all of the time.
Since I have some of my pins promised*, I would use a yellow gold with sapphires pin, with the crest guard, and all of the dangles in between. Maybe someday I can afford to do this!
*My sorority little sister has three daughters - twins and a spare - beautiful, intelligent, lively, and talented young ladies. Making a very long story short, I told my little that, if any of her daughters are initiated into Alpha Delta Pi, they can get the entry pin, but have her choice of any of the ones I've rescued. The twins are juniors, so this could happen soon (she prays!).
