Pins and Badges
 

Hello,

I am the historian for my local sorority Kappa Gamma Chi. We are currently looking to locate and purchase any of our lost original badges.

Where do you have luck finding your organization's badges? Do you have any tips or tricks to locating rare badges?

That's a beautiful badge. Google will be your friend. As a local, how many members have you had initiated? I'd guess you'd be more likely to find them in local antique shops than online.

We were founded in 1902, but I am unsure of just how many sisters we have had. I would have to do some research.

This pin was auctioned on ebay in 2007, and I haven't found any that have made an appearance since!

I would get together a list of all your alum sisters and than ask your college's alumni office for contact information on these sisters and see if any of them are willing to donate them or maybe some sisters have passed away and their children inherited the badges? That would be my steps...
