Expensive badges - worth it?

[FSUZeta]

I bought a plain badge when I was initiated because I could not make up my mind which jeweled badge I wanted. I also did not realize it at the time, but our tastes can change over time.

Years later, I decided to buy a silver badge with alternating pearls and turquoise, and I am so glad that I went the route that I did. I probably would not have chosen the pearl and turquoise badge at 18. I still absolutely love it 10 years later. Since ZTA's colors are turquoise blue and steel grey, my badge is especially special to me.
