We can all remember the day that our golden badge was pinned on as a symbol of our initiation into Kappa Kappa Gamma. From that moment on we became the custodian of an emblem conceived of by six women in the late 1800's and recognized by fellow Greek members and others around the world. It is an emblem we cherish and each member should make provisions for its safekeeping.

Sometimes members or their families do not realize that the key-shaped pin is an emblem of membership and that provisions for a badge should be made so that it does not fall into the possession of a non-member.

Below is a short form you can cut out and place with your badge or other personal papers so that your family is aware of your intentions for the disposal of your badge. To ensure that intentions are enforceable, however, please consult with a lawyer.
