Mary Silzel and I are members of the same alumnae association, and I have had the pleasure of speaking to her on a few occasions. She is a fascinating woman, militant about not only badge rescuing but also bringing the Greek world into modern times, keeping up with the needs of today's college students and the changing world of higher education. I can only hope to be half as wonderful as she is when I am her age. She is a one-woman Kappa Kappa Gamma army, and I love her for it.
And while we're on the stolen badge topic: God forbid this should ever happen to any of you, but if it does, Mary gave me a wonderful piece of advice I will repeat here: FILE A POLICE REPORT. As long as that report exists with a description of your badge, you will be able to retrieve it should it end up on Ebay, because once the police report is filed the badge gets the label of "stolen property." Because of police reports, many Kappas whose badges were stolen and put up for sale on Ebay now have them again in their possession.
