I imagine that would vary from group to group. We have to relinquish our pledge pins at initiation, when we receive our badges. I know that this is true of a number of other GLOs as well. That said -- for us, badges and pledge pins can only be purchased through our HQ. Other jewelry (like rings) can be purchased directly from our official jeweler (Burr Patterson & Auld). Again, this probably varies from group to group.

Boy, would I love to still have my pledge pin.
