Badges & Pins


Pins and badges represent your Sigma Kappa membership. They connect our sisterhood. Here’s what you need to know.

  • Pins and badges are to be worn above all other fraternity jewelry and over the heart on the outermost layer of clothing to indicate membership. Badges should only be worn as intended until you reach alumnae status.
  • Members have the privilege of wearing their badge for a lifetime. When a member passes badges can be buried with them, willed to a Sigma Kappa relative, or returned to Sigma Kappa NHQ.
  • All badges must be ordered through Sigma Kappa Sorority national headquarters. To place an order contact orders@sigmakappa.org or call 317-381-5517.
