But there are so many songs about the girls who wear the golden key! And what about when the "six women of Monmouth College marched into the chapel service with golden keys in their hair announcing the foundation of Kappa Kappa Gamma"!!

I actually wear silver jewelry, so I was a little about it too at first, but I got over it.

I know Kappa didn't used to have restrictions on badge decorations either. I'm not sure when they changed it to sapphires, diamonds, and pearls. I've seen really old badges (or pictures of them) with opals, turquoise, and chased designs. (Chased? Is that how you spell it?)
