Cool ADPi Pin History

We got talking about this on the ebay thread, and so I thought I'd start a new thread. Should I have some time tomorrow, I'll try to move some of the comments from there to here. The idea is to share the knowledge of how our pin has changed (raised hands, flat hands, cut stars, white gold, yellow gold, etc) over the years - which should help people who are bidding on ebay, as well as Alphas.

Fire away!

First comment: We were taught that the Adelpheans had badges, but the Alpha Delta Pis wear pins. I cannot stress how much this was emphasized, and I still cringe when I see ADPi Badge - yet that's what the form reads! AACCKK!!!!!

Was anyone else taught this?

It was always pin for us- late '90's, early '00's. (Is 00's a term?) "Pin attire", "I love the pin", getting "pinned" at initiation. I think "badge" wasn't in my vocabulary until Greek Chat.

According to the dealer, this is from 1997. So, raised hands were in the 1990's.

My pin, from 1972, has the clasped hands slanting downward from each corner.

Do you think if someone was to contact the ADPI historian at EO she might have the answers to this?

I have to go home and double check but if I remember correctly the 1999 alpha class had the raised hands and then my 2000 alpha class did not. I'm basing this on one of the women from the 99 alpha class talking to a TCC about why hers had the raised hands and the rest of us didnt. Apparently the issue with the raised hands is that they had a tendency of falling off (at least hers did) so that might be why they went back to the non-raised.

My 1997 pin does indeed have raised hands!

If you look at the Burr Patterson & Auld Website , the current pins do have raised hands... I was initiated fall of 2000, and mine does as well I am pretty sure... I would need to go check when I get home...

I was just initiated last fall and my pin has raised clasped hands.


ETA: As far as the pin/badge debate...I looked on the order form that we are sending in for our Alphas and on there, it's called a badge.

That's what makes me crazy! As I said, it was REALLY emphasized to me that we wear pins!

ACK!!! In the 1947 Pledge Book I have, they show the two different sizes, just as mine did.

But! I figured out why there's only one size now: With 16 pearls, you can do the jewel-pearl-jewel-pearl etc thing without any extra spots - you can't do that with the 20 pearls and still have all the same points.

What years was white gold NOT available? I know sisters in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's who have white gold pins, but I'm not exactly sure what year each has (there's a limit to what one can ask!).

Interesting Honeychile... never heard this one... I learned pin through collegiate years and since being an IO and on Council have learned badge...

There was an Adelphean that went through the history of our pin/badges... if I search and find it I'll put some tidbits on here...

Karen Reece is the archivist at EO and Ann Parker Davis, Director or Ritual would be our best two sources to get information

Another little item: I was looking at the Badge (*shudder*) Order Form, and noticed that RUBIES are no longer available! Suddenly, I'm not in such a hurry to sell my pin with ruby points!

Also, nowhere does it state that the jewels are synthetic. I know I once asked a jeweler about the sapphires on my pin, and he said that they were genuine.
