The Golden Key of Kappa Kappa Gamma

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some badges more than others?

Rescued membership badges range in age from 0-140 years.  The older the badge and the more unique or jeweled affects the acquisition price from online selling sites, pawn shop and direct from non-members.  The amount listed as the adoption fee is the price of rescue, plus we add 10% to this for a contribution to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation in your honor.

What is the difference between antique and vintage on your site?

Antique is older than 100 years.  Vintage is older than 50 years.  

What can I do to help?

• Protect your badge!
• If you find a wandering badge and it's a reasonable price, purchase it and let us know -- someone might be looking for it.
• Join us or donate.
