Our basic badge. Every member must pay for a badge and it is ordered right after Initiation. New members can select other badges right from the start at most chapters. Some just get the plain one for everybody though, it seems. I've met women who didn't seem to realize they could have gotten a different one.

Somehow your AGD plain badge seems a little too plain; much prefer your letters in their jeweled varieties.

Oh no, I disagree! I think there is a very simple beauty to the "plain" badges. I think they are even more beautiful than some of the blinged out versions. The design of the badge really stands out.

Ditto. I have the plain gold Gamma Phi Beta badge for that very reason. I think that some of our blinged out badges are a little too busy for my taste. It's especially hard to see our letters on the all pearl one, but I think if just the Phi is set in all pearl or all pearl and stone points, it looks fantastic!

When I was initiatated in 1974 all I could afford was the plain badge. When I finally had some money as an alum, I bought a crown pearl AGD badge. When my four daughters initiated in 1997-2003, their chapter tradition was a plain badge. I love them all!

You have four AGD daughters??? That's wonderful! Did you and the girls get to attend the others' initiations? (that's phrased really awkwardly; I hope you can figure out what I was trying to say! lol)
