Whenever we have a reunion, I fully intend to wear my badge. I'm so proud of it, and can't wait to tell old classmates all about SAI.

My 10 year reunion isn't until 2009 but I don't think I'll be wearing my pin or lavalier. There were a lot of people from my HS that went Greek but many of them thought of Greek life as a party scene rather than a place to meet people and get that brotherhood/sisterhood feeling. I doubt any of my old classmates will be wearing their pins or letters. My high school still has a huge gossip circle going so we pretty much know what organization everyone joined anyway.

Sounds like we went to the same HS!

I think I wore the "rose drop" necklace to my 30 year reunon. a few months ago. I'm supposed to be getting my belated Christmas present soon (an AGD watch).
As for shared symbols, guess AGD is unique..we have red/buff roses with green ferns...with a squirrel mascot!

My 10 year reunion is this year. I'll probably just wear my lavalier.

AOII's symbol is a rose too!
I have a rose pendant but don't wear it much anymore. Now, if were to someday get a Rose Award, I'd never take it off!
I didn't go to my class reunion. I know of a girl that I went to Jr. High with who pledged AOII at another school. I would seriously doubt that anyone who I graduated H.S. with pledged a sorority. Most didn't go to college, and a lot went to the local community college. If I were to go to a reunion and wear my badge, they'd just think the same thing that they've always thought about me--that I'm a snob and trying to rub it in.

My 10 year isn't for another 5 years (our officers decided not to have a 5 year...which is fine with me) but I don't think that I would wear my badge. If alcohol is present, I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it. However, I would probably wear an anchor since DG has and always will be a huge part of my life.
I know that some people I went to HS with joined GLOs at Ohio State and Miami, but whether they'll talk about them or not is another story....

I didn't wear any AOII jewelry to my 10 year, and no one talked about Greek life. Like someone had said in an earlier post, the people that went Greek at my school did it because it was a "scene" and a status symbol.

Kappa Delta has pendants such as these:
Diamond and Emerald Pendant

I want the Diamond and Emerald one sooooo bad!
Edited because I couldn't figure out how to post pics, so I posted the links instead...

That emerald and diamond pendent is AWESOME!!!!!

My HS reunion is still a few years away but I'd definitely wear my badge or at least something that has my letters or something like that. I know that at the school I graduated from a lot of people did go Greek but I don't know all the organizations they went to. The first HS I attended also had a large # of people go Greek.
On a side note, my biggest high school enemy (we made each others lives miserable) went Greek & I was floored to run into her at Founders Day. She went SK too! It was weird and uncomfortable at first b/c of all the bitter memories we had of each other but we did start to get to know each other as adults. I can't say we're best friends now but it's pretty nice to know that we have some common bonds & can be friendly if not friends.

Well my 10 year is in a few weeks and I might wear some other piece of SAI jewelry, but not my badge. For some reason, wearing any kind of badge to a function like this strikes me as pompus. Kind of like Rotarians who wear their little Rotary Club pin to everything.

I'll find some way to integrate Alpha Phi in there, especially if I have a majorly BLINGed out badge like I want. (I want Maharet's awesome white gold with diamonds badge!)
I'll admit that high school was not exactly a pleasant experience for me, so I'll probably only go to one HS reunion, and only if it's convenient for me. I'll also admit that I'll wear something A Phi as a "screw you, I found my home somewhere else" type thing. However, I do know quite a few girls from my HS who went Alpha Phi so it should be interesting.

Nope. If I wanted someone to know I went Greek, chances are they know now.
I remember all the really nerdy girls wore their pin to go back to HS.

Nerd alert, lol! That was me! I wore my pin when I visited my school during winter break. I was a very proud new sister!
I didn't wear my pin to my hs reunion.
