Badge Trends?

[Loyally Kappa]

I read the title of this thread quickly and thought something different was being discussed other than what new members were buying. I thought it would be a discussion on what folks were doing with their badges nowadays. I believe I broke a rule, but I recently had a jeweler attach a bail to my key so that I could wear it as a necklace without worrying about the old clasp opening ... it is loose. I like the way occasionally someone will notice the key hanging around my neck and say, "Oh, you're a Kappa!" I have a badge disposition form with my final papers, so it is going back to national at some point. Both of my daughters ended up being a Tridelta so they have no interest in saving it as a forever piece.

Please don't bring me up before the standards committee ... at least I am wearing it proudly!

Your secret is safe with me, sister!! I also think they sell pendants that we can attach our keys to that allows us to wear them as a necklace. The older I get, the more challenging it gets to fiddle with the clasp.
