look under our fraternity, then famous Phi's
Also, as far as the Armstrong thing goes (it has been discussed in a couple of other posts). I do not know if he did leave a Phi Delt and/or Alpha Chi Badge on the moon but I have heard that at several different times.
I do know that in our General Headquarters Meuseum that there is a Phi Delt Bade and a small Phi Delt flag (like the US flag the astronauts wear on their space suits) in a display, along with that is a letter from and signed by Armstron himself. It states something like, " I herby donate this badge and flag, that I carried to the moon on the Appolo landing, with the date and signature of Armstrong." So, I don't know if that clears anything up or adds more mystery to it. I think I have a pic of it somewhere I will look tonight and see and maybe scan it in this week.
This convo actually leads me to open a new thread. What are other organizations Urban Legends? Wheter it be unconfirmed membership of certain "famous" people or the Armstrong moon badge story? I will try to start a new thread and get some interesting disuccsion going.
Thanks!
