I have a friend who makes jewelry. He seeks out auctions and flea markets and garage sales for interesting items that could be turned into rings, cuff links, brooches, etc. Fraternity and sorority memorabilia is some of his favorite materials to work with.
He said often spouses and offspring don't care about the pins and like the fact that some one is willing to pay good money for them.
He said he knows of a woman who also uses fraternity and sorority pins in her artwork. He said she takes a personal glee in using such items. Apparently, she was passed over during rush many years ago.
To each his/her own
