sailboatgirl, that is such a heart-wrenching story. I nearly cried. It is so awful to lose a sister so young, but is so amazing to be able to see that she held your organization is such high regard. I hope her actions are practiced with more greeks around the world.
In my organization we are to buried with it (which I plan on doing), will it to someone, or return it to Nationals. I think the most important thing you can do to ensure the safelty of your badge is to tell those that are close to you how much it means to you and the signifigance the organization has had on your life. The reason I feel so many badges are on ebay is not because they were stolen or not cared for. I think that the people who took care of the arrangements for the funral, memorial service, etc. overlooked this important wish because they perhaps were not a greek member and did not know that this was such and important request.
Unless non-greeks know how important the badge is to the deceased greeks, they will not take such care to see it go to it's proper place!
