If you were in another org, which badge would you get?

[StarryNightASA]

I absolutely love my ASA ruby and pearl badge with pearl guard. But if I had to choose a badge:


I think the newest Theta Phi Alpha badge is so pretty. Plus, my grandma was a Theta Phi Alpha.


There's something really simple and beautiful about the newest ADPi badge.

I love anchors.


If I had to choose from another organization my campus, I'd choose Gamma Phi Beta's. The sapphires look really pretty with the diamonds on the polished badge.

Bumping this fabulous thread--

[Tom Earp]

As Odd as it may seem, I have belonged to THREE Fraternity's.

1. Alpha Phi Omega and have an all Pearled Badge.
2. Beta Chi, the Local that I founded. Nothing but a plain Badge.
3. Lambda Chi Alpha, White Gold with Eleven Sapphires in the Lambda. Original one.

Over the years I have worn three Badges.

1. White Gold, 8 Diamonds in the Lambda with 3 Sapphires.
2. Current,m Yellow Gold, with Three Rubies and Eight Opals with a special L X Guard of which I think there may be only two!

I see the ADPi badge pic on my original post is gone, but I have been swayed to the alternating sapphire/pearl white gold badge lol.





It's swoon-worthy.




ETA: Since this thread began, I've collected a few (seven ... ) more Alpha Phi badges. My own is a single diamond in 10K, but I also rescued 5 plain gold gloss, a gold with all pearl and a white gold all pearl. The two pearl ones have the centre pearl mounted differently. The yellow gold is from 1950 and the white gold is from 1966, and the white gold one is mounted out further while the 1950 one it's more flush with the rest. Not sure if there was a change in jeweler that would explain the differences.

My hands-down favorites are the original Sigma Kappa badge with the snekky sigma and the old Phi Kappa fraternity letter badges with the pears and amethysts. Other than those, I don't know. I like them all. The mega-jeweled phi mu quatrefoils are attractive.



I'm actually really happy with my AOII badge tbh.

Dang it, a typo. I wanted to see how a badge with pears looked

Aww, sorry I got ur hopes up.

I love my badge with the letters and symbol but there are definitely several other sororities' badges that I like. I don't know how to insert photos so I'll provide links.

I've seen Pi Phi badges from years ago with fire opals and one I just saw online where the Pi Beta Phi is embossed on a white enamel with turquoise stones on the "bar" part of the badge. Scroll down and you'll see other vintage badges including one with fire opal and diamonds. Stunning.

I liked the Theta kite shape, rather appropriate since that the was the other house I preferenced. Here's a vintage badge I like:

^^^ My daughter has a rescued vintage Pi Phi badge with opals, but they're all in a row on the shaft. The Pi Phi badge picture you linked is a legacy badge -- the gems above and below represent the legacy and legacy maker. I love that idea!

I. Want. A. Legacy!

With 9 daughters you'd think you'd have had a chance! Did any of your daughters attend a college with a Pi Phi chapter?
You've still got potential with granddaughters, I suppose

Not a one.

My granddaughters will be in college in 8, 10, 12, and 13 years. But...they are also legacies to 4 very Southern chapters that Georgia is full of!

I really, really, really think you need some azure blue on the Carnation Nation flag!

[Titchou]

I love my yellow gold all diamond DG anchor but all of these are beautiful.....I went to AXO for my other pref and really love the all diamond lyre!!

Wow, excuse me, but forgot the theme of the post listing my

But with a Greek Social Fraternity, My Choice would be Sigma Nu.
