Triangle
Badge
The earliest badge design was what is now used as our new member pin. In 1894, the triangle badge was chosen. Jeweled badges were approved at the 1915 convention when the pearl was adopted as our national jewel. Unjeweled badges have a scroll edge. The badge is worn over the heart strictly as an emblem of membership and only by initiated members. |

New
Member Pin The new member pin is a Greek letter Sigma shaped like a serpent intertwined through a K. In 1920, this design was officially adopted as our new member pin. The pledge pin is also worn over the heart by new members of Sigma Kappa. |
