International Badge Day

Thousands of sorority women of Washington State University will recognize their lifelong commitment to service, community and sisterhood by wearing their badges or Greek letters on International Badge Day Monday, March 5.

To begin to commemorate this occasion, some of the Panhellenic officers would like to share what their badge means to them.

Amy Knight Vice President New Member Education

"My badge is a constant reminder of the high standard that I have set for myself as a sorority woman. While it tells the world that I set my goals high and strive to the best of my ability to acheive them, it is also a symbol to me of the strong sisterhood bonds that inspired me to get there. My sisters are my support, my motivation, and my role models. With my badge I will carry them with me for a lifetime. "

Addie Borseth Vice President Recruitment Internal

"My badge is a symbol that I represent something bigger than myself. It is something I had to prove myself to earn, and in that is a privilege not a right. When I wear it reminds me to always be the best version of myself and to shoot for the stars in all that I do. "

Elise Van Vuren President

"My badge symbolizes the values that I choose to uphold an live by every day. I believe it is a tangible representation for how I am held to a higher standard and pushed to act out my sisterhood and values. It is also something that bonds the Greek Community together, because even though our badges may be different all chapters wear them and love them for the same reasons."
