We have to give symbols their meanings. If someone wants to sell a pin, that's great for them.
Now, I noticed that many brothers say "DON'T SELL THE PIN, IT IS HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT". Or that we must keep it within the fraternity because it is a symbol and a part of our history. There is a lot of effort to preserve our past within the fraternity except...
What if I told you that HQ is in possession of probably our most historical, important and significant items right now? What if I told you HQ is going to destroy a piece from our very first ritual? An object that was directly used for our very first initiation?
How would you react? What would be your thoughts on that?

First thing that came to my mind...a potato. I thought you were joking.
Then I found out you were talking about a house. I can't help myself
to remember how much you dislike symbols and historical significance.
It's a house. It's made of boards, wood, bricks, nails, etc. It doesn't
mean anything. It doesn't stand for anything. Sure, it was important
at one time, but c'mon, it's just a house.
