Lets see. I have a very plain, the cheapest pin you can get pin because I insisted on getting my own pin when I came in. My parents paid for everything and I wanted to get the pin myself. Later when I became closer to my grandma, who was also an ADPi, I was given her pin she loved. It is an all diamond pin and just gorgeous. I dont wear it much because Im so scared Ill lose it or something, but I break it out for special occassions.
I want a pin that has rubies all over it, but diamonds in the four points or pearls. If I cant get one like that Ill have to settle for garnet, but I want that cause my birthstone is ruby.
Ive won several pins on ebay, but have given them to people I know that dont have pins or people I know who will save them for their diamonds or such.
Not many interesting stories, but once my alpha class wanted to give our chapter something special for initiation as a class present. We decided to go on ebay. I thought maybe an old old pin, but we saw a very old old book that was believed to be Ella Pierce's. We thought this would be a awesome gift so we bid on it. This lady kept outbidding us and outbidding us, so we emailed her and explained how impt it was to us to get this book. Well it turns out she is a family member of Ellas and also wants this book. She was like a great great great great granddaughter or something of Ellas. We didnt know if we could believe her or not, but we let her win the auction. She in turn donates a beautiful plauque that was very expensive to us to give to the chapter, we call it the Ella Pierce Turner award and Alpha classes give it to a Delta for a year, someone we look up to and think great things of. This lady still emails me and asks if I need anymore money for the plaque or any new things. She is a very nice lady and I did learn she was for real on being family with Ella, so it was a great story to tell the chapter when we started the award.
