You let "pledges" wear the badge? Who else does, do you know? We have a different new member pin.
My GLO stresses to tell your family whether you want to be buried with your badge or have it sent back to IHQ. Those are the choices. It seems pretty clear: "According to the Constitution and Standing Rules of Alpha Gamma Delta, each member takes a lifetime lease of the Badge at the time of Initiation. The Badge is either buried with a member when she enters Chapter Grand or shall revert to the Fraternity (through International Headquarters)."
Of course, I think we all know that we can't expect the rest of the world to follow our rules. We can only make sure they have very limited access to badges and a even more limited market to sell to.
