I have seen it in real life and it is amazing! A few of our new members from last year bought it so I can try to take a pic to send to you. I am thinking about getting one for a B-day treat to myself!

A few girls in my pledge class got these- they are absolutely STUNNING in person. Someday, I plan to upgrade my badge (the chased 3 pearl one) to one of these beauties. That just isn't in the cards at the moment though...

A quick question...Are most of the new members getting badges in white gold or yellow? I'm sure they were offered but I can't seem to remember even seeing a white gold one when I was in school.

i am curious about this too. the white gold was not offered until right after i was initiated. neither was the one with only 3 pearls. does anyone know how much badges run anymore? i just ordered a brochure from herff jones, but just curious.

If I remember correctly, the 3 pearl version is $95 (unless prices have gone up in the year since I was initiated!). I don't have exact prices for the others.

The vast majority of my chapter has yellow gold badges. There are a few girls in each pledge class who choose white gold; however, most of us prefer it to match our stick pin.

I can attempt to get a picture of the vintage badge- I might have the opportunity at formal meeting this weekend. If not this weekend, I know that I can take one during recruitment!

I nearly ordered the vintage badge this winter. My parents offered to buy me a new badge for my birthday since I could only afford the basic 3-pearl when I was an undergrad. I ended up opting for the 22 pearl white gold. I think it was just over $200. The vintage badges were more expensive, but they were beautiful.

You can go to http://www.hjgreek.com/index.cfm?eve...ategory_ID=577 to look at the badges and order a brochure with prices.
