Unfortunately I will be in California that day, at Disneyland.

I'll make sure to wear my letters though (cause let's face it I'd probably lose the damn thing (my pin) at Disneyland.

I'm jealous!

I'll be getting ready for class that night

, but I will definitely plan on wearing my badge that evening (it'll almost be like going to chapter meeting!

WOW, How wide spread is this NPC badge thing. This is the first time I have heard of this. I don't dress up for work but I would love to see all of (my customers)the people at work wearing their badges.

I run a restaurant that caters to many engineers from Universities all over the place but I never get into the "glo" conversation. I am going to keep an eye out for the greeks that I see every day.

But, to re-ask my question . . . Is this a "big deal" that I have just never heard of or is this a new thing?

Well, I'm not sure how greatly publicized this is. Since it is through NPC, it should be nationwide, but I don't know how many people actually hear about it. When I was in college (east coast) everyone was involved. I'm out in Denver now and our Alum Association is pretty active with the Denver NPC. I think I just saw it on their website or something.

Spread the word!

When I was in college our Panhellenic Council informed us of it each year...it was sort of a unity thing that everyone wore there badges that day!

I wore my badge to work last year and people actually asked me about it. Mainly because I worked at a school bookstore and usually wore jeans, but since I was wearing my badge I had a dress on.

Even if I was in town this year, I don't think I would wear my badge to work. Mainly because I work in a school and I'm constantly "running around". I would be absolutely TERRIFIED that I would lose it. Even though I have three badges now (two are my own and 1 I saved from ebay) I would still be terrified.

I will wear my letters with PRIDE!!!!!!!

We did it back when I was in school - so NPC Badge day (even though I refuse to call our pin a badge) has been around a long time!!

That's pretty much what happened at our school, as well - it was nice my first year, since I had been initiated right prior to NPC Badge Day, so I got to wear my <>'s pin all day long.

I'm excited for this year - even though I'm normally in jeans and such, I'll be going out to lunch with family for my great-aunt's birthday, and then I have class that night, so it'll be interesting to see who (if anyone) comments on it....last year I got quite a few looks (but maybe that's because of how many dangles I had with my badge and my guard!
