Pin Collectors

[honeychile]

As you may have heard, there are people who collect fraternity & sorority pins for whatever reason. One of the easiest ways to do this is by watching online auctions such as ebay, and bidding for various pins. There are two schools of thought about this: One, that the pins should belong exclusively to the members of that GLO and Two, as long as people don't physically wear the pins, it's a harmless hobby.

You may have heard of KKG having a "Keepers of the Key" organization, whose sole purpose is to keep the Kappa key in the hands of Kappas only. Alpha Delta Pi has a similar group, "Guardians of the Diamond". I've met some wonderful sisters while agreeing not to bid against each other for one pin or another. One ADPi has a massive collection of various ADPi pins; wouldn't it be lovely if a poster could be made of the different pins? We are very fortunate to have such a wide selection!

There is an interesting debate on the Alpha Phi message board, entitled "Unusual A Phi Pin on ebay". I would encourage every sister to read this thread! You will understand my restraint after reading it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and the thread mentioned.
