Kappa Sigma badge?
So the boyfriend *just* mentioned he'd like a Kappa Sigma badge for his birthday (March 20.) His chapter here doesn't wear the badge -- not a member has one, he says -- and every time it's come up before, he's said he's not interested.
Ooookay. Is there any way to get my hands on one before the March 20 deadline? I know Phi Mu could never get me a badge from nationals that quickly........... however, I also know that some chapters keep extra badges on hand. Anyone? I'd love any help......... |
Call their national or bid on ebay, couldn't really think of any other way....

Is it just me, or does it seem really strange that not even one member the chapter has a badge? I have a really hard time with the idea that any member would not have a badge -- with us, a basic badge is part of the initiation fee.

I'm assuming the chapter's been around for awhile. It's pretty tough to believe that they wouldn't know where to go to buy badges... Why would not one member want one (with the exception of HotDamn's boyfriend)? |
Its a very non-greek campus, so um....I don't know.:confused:

Masters of Design is the best place, maybe the only place to get one.
Our International body does not provide them, and will refer you to Masters of Design, as they are the official jewler (sp?) of Kappa Sig. There are some really nice badges there. Collin |
Its more common that you think...
Many of my Brothers didn't have badges until we started having the bigs buy them for their littles' initiation. Its not that the guys don't care, its just a matter of knowing where to find it.
Kappa Sigma has a contract with Masters of Design (www.mastersofdesign.com). 90% of the badges on the site are in inventory so you can call and order and get it before March 20 (unless its special order). You could also opt for rush delivery, or overnight. The best thing about Masters of Design is their lifetime warranty that comes with each badge. It many cases they will repair it for free. Good Luck, and Congrats to your boyfriend |

If you look at the composites for my chapter, there are only a few guys, in all of the 15 years, who are shown wearing badges. Collin |
This is sorta off topic but...
I just went to the Masters of Design link and was checking out the different types of badges. I am SO glad Chi Omega has a set badge! All of them have 14 pearls. You can upgrade to 14 diamonds, but that's it. And the diamond one is pretty much out of everyone's price range, so we get our pearl badge and are done. I can't imagine having to choose bewteen white gold/yellow gold, or rubies, or pearls, or sapphires etc., etc., etc.! I'd have spent 3 years picking out which one I wanted and never even have worn it in college!!! :p |
Hmm... it seems a bit odd to me too, that no one would have a badge. AEPhi actually requires all sisters to own a badge throughout their college years; afterwards, you can give it to your sister, daughter, or granddaughter if she joins AEPhi. Oh well, guess every GLO has its own policy.

On the one hand, it's nice to know that my badge is just the same as every other AEPhi's... but on the other hand, I would have liked white gold :( |
Sorry, but just not everyone can buy a Badge from the Manufactuer. They normally need proof that you are a member.
Ebay is the main place and there are usually several KS Badges there. Unless they are unique, they are reasonably priced. If you win the Badge, it is sent to you and received in 2 weeks well that is if you send the $$$$$$$!!!!!!! |
My husband is a LXA alum from Va Tech. He never bought a badge. He has his grandfathers jeweled badge. He told me it was not required to buy a badge at all. He happened to have his family's badge, so that is what he used.
