Do you think that any HQs would be willing to pay you for the pin, or even reimburse you? In most cases, aren't the pins considered to be the property of the national organization, not the member who wears/wore the pin? I know for many sororities, when a member passes away, the family members are technically supposed to return the pin to HQ. I would think they would expect you to simply return the pin to them, without compensation.

But, I could be wrong!

This is generally true, but I know atleast in my sorority many of the international officiers try to buy any and all pins they can find to keep them out of other people's hands. So by contacting the headquarters, there is still a large chance of being compensated.
