If I may interject: Diamonds go well with almost anything in my opinion. Except maybe raggidy cotton t-shirts.

You need to put a kidney on layaway to get one of those, but it's BEAUTIFUL!

When I was initiated they did not have my badge ready. They said for AI, they waited until after you were initiated to get yours because of the engraving....so my sponsor let me use her little DG recognition pin (the tiny little anchor badge version).
I got mine last week....

Hey Marie,
When I was alumna initiated into Delta Gamma, and I was filling out the 'paperwork' and sending in my money, the option was actually not offered to me that I could order one of the "fancier badges". I kind of wish that that option had been made available to me, but oh well.

Yeah, it would seem like they should've mentioned it to you since otherwise you end up buying TWO badges and what are you going to do with two of them? It was mentioned in my letter but I assumed it was a form-type letter that everyone got.

I'm considering donating my plain badge to Beta Theta chapter to use as a 'loaner' during initiation.

I upgraded my plain chapter guard to a pearl one. I wish Delta Zeta offered a white gold badge like some other sororities do!

I wish Alpha Gamma Delta did, too! I don't really have any jewelry (except pearls) that goes with my yellow gold badge, because yellow gold doesn't really look that great on me. It seems to me that if the color of gold isn't required to be yellow by ritual, we ought to be able to get it in white gold, too. I know most of the girls in my chapter would get one!

Gamma Phi Beta has a two-toned badge that is soooo neat -- and affordable...wish they'd had it when I was buying mine way back when -- I got the all pearl one and it was a huge chunk of change at the time I recall!
Here is the two-toned badge

I remember seeing that GFB badge before & thinking it was a great solution for the yellow vs. white gold question!
I finally got my white gold badge today!! Here it is:

What a pretty badge, SilverTurtle! I have to admit, I love badges with chased letters.

I posted about ordering my own badge, but yesterday my husband's upgraded badge arrived! He's a Sinfonian, and PMA only has two kinds-- plain with a chased triangle border, or crown set with faux rubies and pearls. It arrived last night.
Which is nice, since now he won't be so jealous of *my* badge upgrade!!!

I got that badge. I couldn't afford what I really wanted (white gold with pink sapphire points on the phi) and I figured that it would always match my jewelry.

I have it as well, on a pendant and I really like it. It stands out real well and everyone seems to notice it. My original badge is too ornate (gamma/beta are all pink saphirres, phi is all pearls - don't make it anymore) to wear with anything less dressy than a nice dress and I wanted something to wear more often.

I enjoy the fact that FIJI has gone only to the one badge that made from the mold of one of the founder's original badges from 1848. It reminds me that we are all brothers(graduate or chapter) none higher above the others and that the intent of the founders is not overshadowed by jewels or stones.
But please believe me, my wife will wear the bling bling sweetheart badge with the diamonds and such.

Melanie, if you ever don't like that blinged out badge anymore, I know somebody who will be happy to take it off your hands! And lol at Fijijr, I told my boyfriend that if he pins me I want a blinged out SigEp sweetheart badge, and he told me it won't be any more blinged out than his!
