Just wondering...If the back is stamped with A-725, would it be correct to assume that this is an Alpha chapter badge?

I wish that I could locate my original badge. It was a plain gold with the diamond center. I was from the late 70's and was so heavy. I lost track of it around graduation. It probably went to the dry cleaners.
I have another badge now-an all pearl Alpha. I just hate that it is not my own.

I just bought this one. It was expensive, but I got it away from a pin collector, so I don't mind too much.
If anyone is interested in the (Tau) chapter guard, PM me and let me know.

Did anyone see the pearl badge with the diamond on ebay? The seller cancelled the auction. So there is no way to know if the new owner is an Alpha Gam. Very frustrating. I was bidding for that one.

i picked this one up - not too bad of a price either. still not sure if the A-725 means that it's an alpha chapter badge though.

We lost this one to a dealer/trader or something. You can see in his history he buys and sells. He won a gamma phi badge not too long ago. Ugh!

I have no idea what that pin is, but I'm almost positive it is not an Alpha Gamma Delta badge.
The very first pins were a monogram, but the Delta was on top instead of the Alpha. The Founders didn't like the design and it was discarded within the first year or so.
Other than that first "draft", the Badge's design has always been the one we know, love, and wear today.
(Edited to add: that first design was discarded in the first few months. The Founders were wearing the present Badge design by November 1904.)

No problem! 
Speaking of the first design, I wonder what happened to those badges. As far as I know, there were only 11--maybe 12--of them ever made. Were they melted down? Are they in IHQ's archives? Or are they floating out in the antique market somewhere, waiting for an Alpha Gam who knows what they truly are to find them?
I would think that if you found one...well, to an Alpha Gam it would be the equivalent of a Holy Grail.

Isn't it Alpha Phi that has a "lazy lettered" badge? This one looks more like a smushed AGD badge!

Our Founders badges are at IHQ on display. Can't recall if all of them were there or not.
