New Member and/or Pledge Pins
I was inspired by sherbertlemons on the Prettiest Badge (Pin) thread. A lot of us have weighed in on which pin each of us consider to be the prettiest; here's your chance to say which New Member pins you consider to be the most interesting.

Here's a photo of ours:



So - what does yours look like?

Delta Zeta's pledge (new member) pin is a black enamel diamond-shaped pin with gilt edging and a gold Roman Lamp in the center.

It is suggestive of our sister Badge in that that our Badge is a gold Roman Lamp. Also, the diamond shape of the pledge pin is meant to symbolize the diamond (our "official" jewel) which holds great meaning for Delta Zetas.

Our pledge pin looks just like our sister pin except it's only one layer and it is silver.

Ours is just a purple triangle with gold letters. Imagine the middle of our pin but bigger, and it's sort of like that! Not that exciting

Delta Gamma's New Member pin:


I find it to be quite lovely in its simplicity, and the white shield "suggests" the badge for fully initiated members.

Our new member pin is really special (it has alot of meaning). It is a circle with a triangle on top of it and three tiny Sigmas on each point of the triangle. It's worn alot with a purple and a white ribbion pinned under it. I love it, but sadly (and soooo happily) in 3 days I will no longer be wearing it because I will be initiated!!!! Then I will be proud to wear our beautiful indented triangle badge.

I LOVE the Kappa NM pin.
To the point I think I want them to bring out a line of NM pin necklaces for initiated member to wear. (Hmmm....)

*mischievious grin* Yes, I'm an inspiration to many, I now. My beauty, charm, and *even bigger grin* incredible modesty make me a role model to many. *ducks various things that she's sure will be chucked at her for that outburst* Just couldn't resist that one.

If Kappaloo hadn't beaten me to it, this is where I would post a picture of our new member pin. Just out of curiosity, how big are everyone's pins? Ours is a half inch on each side of the delta. I always am surprised after seeing greatly enlarged photos at how small they really are when I see them for the first time in person.

Oh, and I'd ove anything you can say about how the design for the new member pin evolved or any symbolism that you are at liberty to explain. Some of the nm pins really are quite different from those worn by initiates.

And I agree with Kappaloo...we do need nm pin jewelry for initiated members. Ours is purty.

the alpha chi omega new member pin is diamond shaped, it is split by scarlet and olive green halves, with a golden lyre across the middle. i believe this is very much a suggestion of our lyre badge also!
i know that our chapter keeps the new member pin as the "sisterhood stick pin" and wears it with the lyre badge. the stick pin serves as somewhat of a guard for the badge. at least i believe that is its purpose!!! i know where a picture is, but i dont know how to do that, so....yeah. someone else can!!!

AX love,
roxydiva

Our pin is tiny . . . I think it's about the same size as the Kappa pin.

Sorry that's so huge! It's the first time I have ever been able to get a picture to post! It may take me another year to figure out how to size it!!!

The pin itself is tiny, maybe 1/4 of an inch long?
