When I was an active, everyone got at least the pin with pearls and a guard. To not order at least pearls was to question the initiate's loyalty to the chapter. My initiation pin is white gold (which I never wear now!) with pearls and sapphire points. It's the white gold version of the one seen on most ADPi publications.

Then my chapter went through a period of the "poverty pin" - the plainest one possible. Many alumnae just shook their heads, as the price wasn't much less than the pearls.

Last weekend, I noticed that every sister has at least the pearls and guard again! Obviously, it goes through stages, and we're in a pleasant one again.

We have a lot of options for pins, but not quite as many as there before we changed companies. I'm fairly certain that the only thing not allowed is the double rows of diamonds, which is only for the Grand Council.
