I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. I like the new ones better though. Too bad about the historical part of it. It will most likely be bid up by a collector. :(

cute bracelet! Did anyone see that the pledge pin is up to $40! I'm surprised!

i know! didnt the other one go for $51? ugh, im more surprised that this girl is selling her own pledge pin and came right out and admitted it in the listing!!!:eek:

Look what I just won!!!

and for only $7.50! :)

(They are usually $20-25 if you can find them in the stores, or same + $6 shipping from most online greek stores)


wooohooo!

(I've been looking for these in a while in my size, but the greek store at school was always out)

Having checked out the OTHER things purchased by the bidders on the Mother's pin, I bet they are Pi Phis... lots of arrows being bid on and won.... While it is interesting, I like the modern Mother's pin... and yes, I bought one for my mom (heck, with three Pi Phi daughters, if she'd gone to college, our CPP was going to nominate her for AI).

I'm shocked that the pledge pins went for so much. The cost to chapters is less than $10. While I will admit to buying a pin off Ebay, I also did my research and knew what similar pins would go for new... and the seller could tell me enough that I knew it was 60 years old.

For those posting the "non official" arrows-- thank you! I collect interesting arrow pins (most officers do) that can be worn on my lab coat, or a jacket....

This is really cute:

As for the non-Pi Phi arrow pins, they had a bunch up a while back, with turquoise on them, that were really nice. If only I had money!!

This pin started out at $1 and was sold for $111.50!!!!

Unfreakingbelievable! The new jeweled badges sell for that much (or close)!

Maybe instead of giving the pledge pins to new members, the chapters can sell them on eBay to raise money for Arrowmont and Links to Literacy.

are the pledge pins even gold? im pretty sure mine wasnt real gold, just gold-tone. i am SHOCKED that it would sell for that much... ridiculous

Just listed this on ebay in case anyone is interested :)

ruby and pearl badge, complete with crest guard and president's dangle???? I can't believe a chapter president would let her badge get away, although it's engraved with a number on the back, so it may be a family member who's selling it.

It is possible that the family is selling the badge, or had previously sold the badge, and it is now being re-sold. In any event, chapter #323 is Illinois Eta. Badges originally were engraved with name and initiation date, then initials/ chapter/ date and later with just the member number. They stopped doing the personal engraving in 1978-9 (yes, I know that exactly because my sister's badge is engraved with her member number and mine is not). Anyone know someone from Millikin? That chapter was founded in 1912 and if you estimate an average of 20 new members/year, that would make this badge from 1958... so yes, it could be an estate sale because it is likely to be older than that. I couldn't do a sister search by member number.

Not to change the subject or anything, but I got a really cool 'unofficial' arrow pin from Ebay. It's silver and the arrow is intersecting 2 hearts. It's a cool variation of the Foundation's symbol (I'm sure unintentional but I'll be wearing it at the Officer's Workshop next month)

oooh, post a pic if you can -- sounds gorgeous :)
