you guys gave me nightmares. I would have been okay with creepy or smarmy or obsequious or something along those lines, but no... ree had to raise the spectre... and nightmares ensued. Yikes.

Someone's been watching too many spy movies.

I'm just curious...
Do most NPC badges have engraving on the back? Mine does not.

I think Balfour used to engrave all badges with initials & years (I have a vintage badge that has them). Herff-Jones doesn't - at least not for ASA (possibly you could special request it???).

On the badge engraving issue, Herff Jones does engrave Kappa badges, FWIW.

I think it varies with what particular GLOs want. Various sororities and fraternities use initials, chapter, initiation date, membership numbers ("badge numbers") or some combination. Based on old badges I've seen, ours used to have initials and chapter, I think, but by the time I was initiated they just had a serial number.

It may change the cost or the time to ship. AOII still has engraving through HJ. We have initials, chapter and initiation date on the back of every badge that goes out. I agree with MC. It is likely up to the powers that be with each group.

Mine does - it has my initials, chapter letters and member number. However, I found one online (which I bought) that doesn't appear very old which did not have any engraving at all. I thought that was strange.

Mine doesn't. My chapter always just did a mass ordering of badges, then they were given to the new members at initiation.
