I wish I wasn't so terrible at taking pictures, cause I'd love to post a picture of my badge. I went all out and got a white gold quill with alternating pearls and pink sapphires along the stem and just recently got a chased, white gold chapter guard to go with it. I figured since it's a lifetime investment, I might as well do it right.

I wasn't sure if someone had posted this already or not, but it's a Gamma Phi badge from 1885. I think I remember reading that it was the oldest badge at headquarters? Anyway, it's really beautiful and I love the crescent moon in white.

Here's one on display at IH that's just a little older (1882).

You can tell how old it is by all the links in the chain. It's beautiful!

Twelve links are used now...one for each founder, but I'm not sure when that was adopted. That is a beautiful badge!

1934, according to Pi Phi's website.
And that badge is beautiful.

Does anyone know which fraternity or sorority this pin comes from? I think it is probably a local, but I wasn't sure if it belonged to an organization I was unfamiliar with. BTW those are not my nails.

Somebody couldn't decide if they admired KKG, Theta, KD, or SDT the most? Wow!
And that Pi Beta Phi pin! VERY swoon worthy!!!!

We have a Pi Phi in the family, as of this morning! I'm so glad her badge and guard arrived in time for initiation. It has a diamond in the arrowhead, which is hard to see. I can't wait to see Generallygreek and her new badge in person!
