When I was in college, I did take a weekly stroll through a local thrift store, and I found a plain ol' Alpha Phi badge from the chapter at my college. It was a quarter, so I bought it and returned it to the chapter. Other than that, though, I haven't actually rescued any badges.

I know some women at HQ buy some of the badges. If you go to Fratpin.com they have an Alpha Delta Theta badge. The thing about that place is that it is very expensive. I would love a Phi Mu badge with opals. That is my eventual goal!

Sorry for the hijack, but I would love a ZTA badge with opals! I think opals are just gorgeous!

No, def. don't be sorry. I know, I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE opals, but it is hard to find badges with them and HJ doesn't make badges w/ opals anymore (at least not for Phi Mu). Boo! I love the way opals look with saphires, though.

They don't make them for ZTA either.  I also love how opals usually look sort of turquoise, which is one of our colors.
PS - hello from not to far away, Penn Stater! (I'm from Susquehanna)

My mom's badge is opals with a sapphire in each point, fresh from the '60s. One of these days I'll sneak a picture of it to share on here.
