Loving the two badges idea. May just have to do that. I love my own badge, which has my chapter's guard, but I also love the 2 pearl badges that I have rescued off of that auction site (1917 and 1925). It is always such a tough decision, and you may have just solved that for me. Thanks Lily!

As for me, haha Az but I have bigger plans than Target this year! In honor of Badge day, there will be a group of our alumnae chapter that are meeting for lunch. The best part about it is that we are going up to a retirement center nearby to have lunch with some of our 70+ year Thetas! While one of them was able to make it to Founders Day, the others no longer drive, are uncomfortable leaving their familiar surroundings, or may be physically unable to leave their facility. Therefore, we are going to take a very small and modified (belated) Founders Day to them. I can't wait!

When I was discussing this idea with one of the residents there she was so excited about Badge day that she couldn't wait to go tell all of her panhellenic friends. And yes, since this is the south, you better believe that every 90 year old lady in that facility knows the affiliation of everyone else!

I can't wait! Should be lots of fun!

southerners...sigh... (and not in a mean-spirited way, I'm just a Western girl, what do I know?).

okay, okay Blondie93, you sorta WIN this time but Az Alpha Xi & I have the drop on you. She's bringing her Kappa Delta friend along for brunch tomorrow, so this is truly going to be a Panhellenic outing. And Monday I'm having lunch with my Delta Sigma Theta colleague. She's wearing her letters, I believe.

I hope your alumnae group takes photos & that we'll see one in our magazine or, even better, on FB or on the website.
