To the "badge/pin" collectors out there - so, you collect sorority/fraterity badges and pins like others collect coins or baseball cards or shot glasses? Mmm...you learn something new every day.

Me, myself, personally, I just don't think that anyone who isn't a member of my sorority should have one of our pins. But hey, that's just me.

The bottom line - make sure that you have made provisions for what should be done with your sorority/fraternity pin in the event of your death so it doesn't end up at an estate sale or on Ebay.
Three_Love makes an excellent point about the pin issue on eBay from the NPHC perspective. Having pins available to any bidder could lead to misguided individuals trying to perpetrate our organizations.
