basically the colony pin is the regular new member pin except all in gold with a link chain encircling the pin.
Most colony members I've know wear their colony pin as their guard after initiation.

Thanks, AZ-Alpha Xi. I guess I should have looked
SydneyK...I love the plain, shiny badges, too, but I have to say that I'm a little biased towards the jeweled and chased ones over time because they hold up better. The plain gold scratches up so easy and looks kinda icky....I bought a really pretty 10k Gold badge on eBay, and I'm so careful to keep it from getting scratched.
