March 4, the first Monday in March, is NPC International Badge Day. It is a day for members to wear their respective NPC badges. If Ā āpin attireā is not worn, then it is perfectly acceptable to wear letters, those articles of clothing sporting the Greek letters.
Iām mentioning this today because I spend the month of May, Womenās History Month ā #WHM2024, profiling #NotableSororityWomen.
The National Panhellenic Conferenceās International Badge Day began in 1997.Ā In the spring of 1996, Nora M. Ten Broeck wrote an article about her experience after she wore her Alpha Sigma Alpha pin to work one day. The article appeared her sororityās magazine, The Phoenix, and was titled āA Simple Solution ā Wear Your Membership Badge Today.ā Her NPC colleagues loved the idea and endorsed the project. The month of March was chosen because it is also National Womenās History Month.
Use #BadgeDay24 and #IWearABadge across social media.
