Living For Each Other - Lost Pin!
 

I got an interesting email today, from a sister who is looking for her aunt's stolen pin, with which she was also initiated. There IS a filed police report on this, so I assured her that we will keep an eye out for it. This is the description she gave me:

"I am an initiated sister....Kappa Chapter at Samford University,
pledge class of 1981. I'm looking for the exact pin. It was my
aunt's - Linda Robertson and maybe her date of initiation (1960
or so??) are engraved on the back. It did have my chapter guard
(Kappa) and two officer dangles attached when it was stolen
from my house during a burgulary in 1989. It['s yellow gold], has alternating pearls and aquamarines, and the chapter guard is plain gold (10K?) without pearls or jewels."

The pin seems to be one of a kind! This sister (the niece) has two teenaged daughters who she really hopes will also want to be initiated with this pin!

If anyone sees or hears about this pin, PLEASE let me know, and I'll pass on her email address. Remember, We Live For Each Other! Thanks, y'all!

Wow.. considering it's been 17 yrs since the burglary, I think it would be almost an ADPi miracle if it was found

You never know if it will make it's way to ebay or perhaps a sister that somehow came across it will see this post (or hear through the grapevine) and return it to the rightful owner.

Stranger things have happened - and what a great story for the Adelphean, if it does! :)

Definitely - I was at an Alumnae Panhellenic event today, and we had two speakers (one from Kappa, one from Gamma Phi) talking about Badges on Ebay. Both ladies shared a story where a member's badge had been stolen YEARS before (one was 30 years, another was 50 years!) and was found and returned to the rightful owner.
