It's obviously not the original pin. I wondered if it was one designed before the current style was finalized, but the 28 on the back gives me pause. According to Ordinary Miracles, Julia Tyler worked on a redesign and settled on the familiar badge in 1898, but I doubt that there were 28 initiates by then. Also, it looks like there might be an apostrophe before that 28; if so, the Alpha chapter was dormant by then so that KD could enter the NPC.
Still, it would be interesting to own it, what with the right letters and the important diamond shape. I just wouldn't treat it as an official badge (not that I won the auction). |
That may be a pin from a now defunct national that used the name Kappa Delta until HQ advised them that the name was copyrighted. Can't remember which school had the chapter.
