Then what happens to the badges?

*Some are adopted by their chapters of origin, either to be displayed or used as an officer's badge
*Some are returned to their rightful owners, or legacies, perhaps after being stolen decades before.
*Some are used for education. For example, I have a 1938 pearl badge, purchased on ebay, that I sometimes wear with my own. I use it as an opportunity to tell others about the importance of making provisions for the disposition of their badges, so that their badges don't wind up on ebay like this one did.
*And yes, some do sit in members' jewelry boxes.
