While it's annoying to have all these non-greeks out collecting pins, I don't think it's evil! One of our advisors collects antique Chi Omega badges, and she has some really cool stuff from before badge standardization. I'd love to get a collection like hers going.
Personally, I'd rather have my family hold on to my pins and heirlooms than send something back to HQ. But I'd be really hurt if they sold it! In that case, I'd want my badge to go back to my chapter.
