Stick Guard/Upgrade Your Badge

[adpiucf]

I was reading about this in the Adelphean. Does anyone have a photo of the new guard?

Haven't received my new Adelphean yet. Boo.

The only thing I can't see is how you'd put dangles on it. But are they completely passe now?

I've always seen dangles as a money-making scheme Kidding.

In all seriousness, I wish the badges were a bit larger so you could really SEE them.

That's why I like the 20 stone (4 points, 16 pearls) pins. The standard pin now was called the minature pin when I was inititiated.

I think theyd still go on the rope/chain you use to attach the guard to your pin. That's my understanding at least.

can we still get the old ones? because a guard was my mom's christmas gift to me, and we haven't ordered it yet, and i prefer the traditional ones...

Yes both will be available going forward... they just wanted to provide choices...

In all honesty, I really don't like the new guard. I definately prefer my guard with my chapter letters.

I guess the one good thing about this type of guard would be for the sisters who affiliate. So many more sisters are going to one school, joining and then for personal reasons, transferring and affiliating. If they feel bonds to both chapters this guard would help them out because you wouldn't be able to have two guards.

I think there is a misunderstanding- at the top of the "stick" will be the chapter letters... and there will still be a chain that connects it to the badge... so dangles can still be worn and you can still see which chapter the sister is from...

[ASUADPi]

Makes sense now.

Couldn't you also get one with a crest, instead of the chapter letters? I do believe that is an option with the chain-only guard...

I can't remember the last time I received my Adelphean. No matter how many times I change my mailing address on PO, somehow, they still send them to my home address... and considering I go home like twice a year.. MAYBE three times, it makes me sad

I know that there are multiple databases, which don't all communicate with one another. I'll PM the email address you can use to ask someone to change your address so that you receive the Adelphean.

I can also get your information updated if you want to PM me...
