Custom badges may be special ordered by calling the jewelry manager at HQ. There is a link from pibetaphi.org's jewelry page. The choices to think about are whether you want just two stones along the shaft or the crown shaft (12 stones) and whether you want a stone in the point (used to have a choice of anything... and maybe with a custom badge you would. The standard ones look like diamond or pearl is the only option).
If you ever go to St Louis, there is a display at HQ of heritage badges... talk about bling!!

No joke... When I was there in February, we oooh'ed and ahhh'ed. The thing I found interesting was the massive variety of old-timey guards they had. There was one shaped like a carnation that I thought was particularly cool.
I had placed a bid on that one, but I didn't get it. 
I really love that opal and emerald one, but I think it will soar out of my price range eventually. I'm the current high bidder, but I don't see that lasting long.

Okay, that "hug a Pi Phi" t-shirt is now at $47 US!
Does that seem crazy to anyone else? It's a t-shirt!
That's almost $70 Canadian!!!!!

After seeing the price on that, I wish I hadn't given all my old t-shirts to younger Pi Phis ...

OMG-- I have one of those "Hug a Pi Phi shirts"!! Only I didn't buy mine off Ebay! They were very popular in the early 80s--
I agree, $47 is absurd for a screen printed t-shirt but people go crazy when they think something is unusual or collectable.

It's hard to believe something from the early '80s is "vintage." When I hear or see the word "vintage" I think of poodle skirts or space-age patterns from the '50s.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go check the mirror for gray hairs ...

Perhaps it came from a chapter house. I suppose I could see a Pi Phi house having silver with letters engraved on it. Stranger things have happened.
Then again, the carving doesn't look very "professional". And if it was part of a set, you'd think the rest of it would pop up somewhere, too. Maybe someone had it specially engraved, or did it themselves for some reason.

It's only going for $9.50, so it might not be that valuable.

I think it looks a little creepy, but that's just me! Probably from a chapter house or maybe one place setting that someone had.

That badge is beautiful!! I hope you get it too. I think the Pi Phi doormat is pretty tacky too out of the random stuff.
I'm sad to see there's three other badges on there, but I can't afford the opal one and I don't need another plain gold one.
