I also have a tie for the Society of King Charles the Martyr and the Order of St. Vincent, two Anglican organizations I belong to.

I prefer the rosette to the metal lapel badge as a way to denote membership in a club/organization:

Never said otherwise Todd------ I think I did mention 101st airborne as an example and I note that Smart Turnout do mention many US universities too.

Out of interest we(the Brits) don't do the lapel badge much and the rosette hardly at all, I think.In fact I don't think I have ever seen a UK one.
