If not, and you want to keep the badge as a memento of your mom - do so and don't feel guilty.

Just be sure that if no other member of the family goes ABC that the badge does not fall out of the family.
And yes, technically speaking most GLO's (at least sororities) have wording that the badge "belongs" to the GLO.
I would keep it until you know that no one in the family will use it and then donate it to the University since it seems like they have a good process for displaying historical items. Our headquarters collects historical items but I believe teh displaying of them is still in the infancy.
However, the GLO would probably love to eventually have the information since it is from a charter member of the chapter.
