Custom Lapel Pins to Recognize Your Fraternity

From time to time, we receive requests from fraternities that are hosting special events.  In this particular case, we were contacted by Rutgers University fraternity IOTA PSI.  They wanted to use the pins at their reunion.  The special occasion that they were celebrating was their 20th Anniversary.  What better way to honor past and present members than with a custom lapel pin?

Fraternity Symbols Enhance Appearance of Pins

Custom lapel pins are created with the customer in mind.  Depending on their purpose, we make suggestions as to what style of pin would work best with a design idea.  We base this off the information that is provided to us by our customers.

In the case of IOTA PSI, we knew that they wanted a classic design that reflected the fraternity’s core values.  The artwork that we created for them included the shape of a cross and four smaller images–two keys, an eagle head, a scroll, and two hands gripping each other.  There are also three gold stars above the text that reads, “Rutgers IOTA PSI 20th Anniversary”.

Custom lapel pins are perfect because they’re timeless.  Fraternity members attending the reunion are given a token of appreciation for attending.  This helps foster a sense of pride and affiliation among the group.  It doesn’t matter what year the man graduated.  He was and always will be a member of IOTA PSI.

Presentation Options For Your Ceremony

If your reunion is formal, you may want to consider purchasing acrylic cases or velvet boxes to present your lapel pins in.  These items enhance the physically appearance of the pin and also give the recipient an instant way to store and display their award.

This is an incredibly convenient way to get the gifts ready prior to the event.  There’s no need to attach them to a card or certificate when they’re already in a case or a box.  This makes it easier for reunion organizers to be prepared whenever guests start showing up for the fraternity’s ceremony.

Custom lapel pins can be created in a variety of different styles based on design ideas and customer preferences.  Some common fraternity award pins are die struck.  Others may be soft enamel or cloisonne.  Each has its own unique look and feel.  You can visit the  website to read how each style of pin is created and to see examples of past customer creations.

Fraternity pins honor members from years past as well as those currently involved with functions on campus and in their community.  That’s why it’s important to have the type of design that appeals to everyone.  The pins that we created for IOTA PSI are just that.  Classic, attractive, and rich in detail, they’re exactly what our customer requested from us for their 20th Anniversary event.
