[EEKappa]

Well, I have a collection...

My own badge, which is all sapphire. I ordered plain letters, but it came with enamel, which I've never really liked. It has my EE chapter guard, and I removed my officer dangles a couple of years ago.

Some of my other favorites, from ebay:

An all pearl badge with an EE chapter guard from the 60's. No luck in contacting the original owner after I won the auction.

An all-pearl with plain letters from the 50's, which I to which I added a tiny pearl fleur de lis pin, another ebay purchase, as a guard. (The owner was deceased.)

A plain gold with plain letters from the 30's, which has a beautiful brushed patina. (Another instance in which the owner was deceased.)

I like to wear a couple pins at once, and I always get questions. This is when I say, "This one is my pin, and this one is my Kappa public service announcement." It's a great opportunity to share the importance of badge disposition.
