33girl - Something I noticed was that some sororities actually have rings that allow a badge to be set into it, effectively making the badge a ring. The rules for the usage of the badge must be very different from fraternities.
Phi-Theta 376 - I have actually seen a handful badge rings on ebay. I saw some that appeared as if the ring was cast with the badge being part of it (rather than being added). I think that in the past, we had rings that were the badge symbol (similar to Freemasons with rings that have the compass).
The most recent one I saw was last week. It was a badge with opals, pearls and diamonds. However, it was a badge converted - with the ring soldered on (or something like that). It was a size 4! I could imagine it being given to a female companion or wife.
I would not wear the ring right now. However, the badge is the symbol that you are a brother and not to be used as decoration or the like (similar to the official seal).
The crucicrescent is supposed to be more appropriate.
If I could get a signet ring with the seal or the coat of arms on it (kinda cheap) I would do that also.
I just view it as a symbol of brotherhood, showing that I am an initiated brother and as a reminder that I can look at every day. I will ask someone at IHQ if it's ever been done and how they would feel about it. I know what Jack thought about it.
