1904 badge returned to Chi Omega

Neat story- a gentleman who is married to a Phi Mu always scans Ebay to find badges for her. He came across a really unusual badge. It was so much smaller than the other badges. He bought it for $16.00. Turns out - it was a 1904 Chi Omega badge and he just returned it to headquarters! What a thoughtful guy!

That's the most adorable thing! What a sweetheart. I'm a Phi Mu.... I hope I find a fella like that.

Congrats on getting that badge back. I always get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see one of our badges on e-bay... like something so special to me shouldn't be where just anyone could pick it up. I was comforted though when I read on our website that often a greek member forgets to include directions for returning a badge in his/her will, or to mention it to the surviving spouse..... so it's sold in an estate sale and such.

I wonder what our organizations do with all the badges that DO get returned?

Thanks for the response!
We had a Phi Mu from IU live with us (her sister was a Chi O and when she transferred to ISU [which does not have Phi Mu] - she lived with us)- she was the most kindest and beautiful girl! We loved her!

Thanks for stopping by!
Sue

How awesome that the pin was returned to headquarters.

....if only there were more guys like him

Thanks Sue! I was a little nervous to say anything because I've sneaked on and read a couple of you guys' threads.... and noticed that on a lot of campuses, apparently Chi Omega & Phi Mu are not the friends they could be.

Which is kinda too bad considering we're two of the BEST sororities.... ;-)
