I saw this too and flipped! I even looked up the honor ring picture on IO to make sure I wasn't thinking of something else! I put it on my watch list just to keep an eye on it but, I don't think I have the money to bid on it at this time. Let's definitely make sure this stays with sisters!!!

I was shocked when I saw the honor ring on ebay, and I was the highbidder (cdwestwood) until turquoiseandgray outbid me. I don't care who gets it as long as it's a sister.

Currently a collector has bid it up to $102.50 and is trying to outbid me on the silver badge with pearls and Mu guard Anyone want to take up a collection to save the honor ring??? And btw, the silver badge is currently being won by a Zeta, not sure about the gold badge with pearls.

Who wears the honor ring? National officers?
Beautiful ring.

Taken from the ZTA National website:
Honor Ring – adopted at the 1915 Convention, it is silver with the coat-of-arms superimposed upon a turquoise stone, flanked on either side by an open Bible and the crown. The national Fraternity upon approval of National Council shall award the Honor Ring. Presentation of the Honor Ring is based upon the provisions previously outlined.
Basically it's worn by members who have given a lot of time to ZTA and its awarding is approved by national council. It's a really big deal to get one and it's the highest honor bestowed by ZTA to an individual member. So to see one on Ebay is major to say the least. What's next, the Purple of the Fraternity??!! A president's torch guard?

Seriously though, we should try to rescue that honor ring, it's not often those go up for auction.

I think I see a mother's pin up too.
Is there any way to merge the two ebay threads??? Not a huge deal, just would make things easier.

I bid on the mother's pin but am currently outbid by a Zeta (I guess the zta on the end of my ebay name isn't a clue that I'm a sister but whatever) so I'm gonna let her have it cuz I'm nice like that.

nutbrown, to earn an honor ring, as southern zeta said, you must put in years of service to zta. to elaborate, one earns points at both a local and national level to earn enough points to qualify for consideration. someone could have donated many years of service to either an alumnae chapter or local collegiate chapter, and not qualify for an honor ring, because she does not have points accumulated at a national level(basically serving as a national officer or chairwoman). it is a huge deal to receive an honor ring, because each qualified applicant is reviewed by the executive officers and the rings are given out at our national convention.

Well, it's a beautiful ring. Are they not marked inside with the recipient's initials? That way it could be determined to whom it was originally presented.

The honor ring has gotten so much publicity here and lots of early bids. I'm betting it gets to the $300-$400 range.
Any idea what the stone is? Jade perhaps?
