This topic tangent is so interesting! I'm enjoying learning more about everyone's badges and traditions.
We just wear our badge, which is just how our Founders wanted it to be. I guess since dangles weren't allowed on our badge, it never really occurred to any of us to purchase them (this is almost 20 years ago!) I was awarded a dangle from our college Panhellenic one year and I just kept it in my pin box, it's around here somewhere. We do have a President's Ring and Ruby A badge as award/recognition jewelry for collegians. I believe we also have a Circle Award pin awarded to New Members, but don't know much about it.
Both the President's Ring and the Ruby A badge are owned by each collegiate chapter and are passed down each year/term. The President's ring is self-explanatory I'm sure
The Ruby A is used as an award badge, and there are rubies set into the 'A' on the badge. Look at this badge and imagine rubies where the pearls are set on the 'A' and you get an idea of what it can look like (it can also be unjeweled on the O and II, and probably often is.)
http://www.aoiiemporium.com/store/co...?idproduct=380 It is traditionally awarded to the new member with the Highest GPA upon intiation. Former Chapter Presidents and Ruby A awardees can purchase their own ring or Ruby A badge after they pass it down.
The AOII Emporium does carry leadership charms (dangles) and a few charm-style bracelets. So, I guess it's okay to have them, but not attach them (or anything else) to our badge.
I'm kind of glad we don't use them, because I'd be broke from having so many of them
