Smithsonian and Moon myths
An eBay item claiming that the badge it has on sale is of a group voted "most prettiest badge" and featurned in the Smithsonian and is pinned to the US flag on the moon made me post tonight.
I've heard this about every group at one point or another. Is there a good website or thread that debunks these sort of fraternity urban myths with facts of their own?

There are several threads on here. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that none of that stuff is true.

"Most prettiest." That sounds really official to me.

I know, but it's not like she's using it for a research project or publication purposes.

I thought I read somewhere that the Alpha Chi Omega badge was in the Smithsonian.....
And, I heard that Niel Armstrong's wife was a sister and he placed her badge on the flag that now adorns the moon.....
Oh, well
