New Member and/or Pledge Pins

Delta Gamma does not have a special pledge pin for the colony members

[greeklawgirl]

Alpha Gamma Delta did have a special colony pin at one time, but we don't use it anymore. I don't know when it fell into disuse.

If I remember correctly, it was gold and shaped like a feather with the letters Alpha and Gamma in gold and the Delta in black enamel. (Don't quote me on this, I need to go back and check my History to make sure this is correct!)

That's true, but there is a special "dangle" for your badge, if you are a colonizing member! It's an "H".

I still have my Alpha Phi new member pin.. I think I'm going to have to cough up some cash so that the collegiates can replace it, cause I'm not giving it back.

I like y'alls new member pins. They are unique *in a good way*!

AOII has a colony member pin. It is similar to our rose recognition pin but without the letters. Olga Tritt, a friend of a founder and a designer for Tiffany’s, created it in 1925.

That's gorgeous!

Alpha Phi Omega's Pledge pin is similiar to our Service Pin (our general membership pin, which is an alternative to our badge). Main different is the letter "P" in the center instead of "S". Funny thing is, when it comes up on eBay, some think the P is Rho, and say they are putting up an "Alpha Phi Omega Rho" pin. Sigh.

Also, to add to what others said, APO also has a separate pin for Petitioners (we call our colonies Petitioning Groups). Its a small round pin with a torch on it. It was introduced only a decade or so back. Before Petitioners wore the pledge pin.

Once one become a Brother in APO, one usually does not wear the pledge pin anymore (why bother). However, if one was a Petitioner, one is encouraged to wear the Petitioner pin along with the service pin to show you were a Petitioner and thus helped establish (or re-establish) a chapter.

Hope this is of interest

Well, my computer doesn't lock up, but neither does the site actually work for me either.

I think ariesrising's *awesome* site has exceeded its bandwidth. (Probably all of the GCers going over to view it!) Being a FREE site, they limit how much bandwidth you can use per day/week/month/etc. Give it a few days & you should be able to view it.

And I really like the Alpha Phi pledge pin.. it's so cute!

Sorry I couldnt figure out how to get the picture on here. This is the Phi Mu pledge pin that the phis wear after their pledging. It's a mini version of our badge really.

This is the Kappa Sigma pledge pin:



There are the letters K and S in the middle of a Caduceus, on a black triangular face.

The Caduceus is the symbol of Hermes, greek messenger of the Gods.
