OTOH, I bought on ebay an Alpha Phi Omega pin from the 1950's that is about half the size of what I have now. I'm happy I have that pin and I'm not really sure how I would have gotten it if they didn't sell such things on ebay.
[/B][/QUOTE]Well, it's a good thing that you received the pin and not a non-Brother, because only Brothers are to possess APO paraphernalia. I wish that along with the APO "store", there was a sort of exchange set up between the brothers where old pins and other things could be traded and sold AMONGST OURSELVES and not with the general public. This would be a place where all used paraphernalia would end up, and other fraternities/soroities could model this system as well. What does everyone think of this idea?
