Historical Art
Fraternity and sorority badges are works of true art as well as an image that lets us be recognized in the crowd. Badges are points of pride, and a golden chip of our history as a person, as an organization. When I was in college I joined my fraternity and my most memorable day was when I received our distinctive badge. It is mine, for the rest of my days, I wear it proudly, and every GLO member sould always wear theirs with extreme pride. With the advent of E-Bay I was annoyed at the ease of aquiring GLO badges. Not that the pin collectors are going to wear them, none do, but they sort of hold them hostage. I emplore pin collectors not to give up their hobby, because you do save alot of our pins from the scrap gold pile, I have seen that happen, but to offer excess pins to be purchased from you by national officers or worthy members. I collect my fraternity badges, and I am compliling a history of them so at some point I can donate them back to the national fraternity to put on display.
Keep your badges safe, wear them proudly!
I applaude the work of the Keepers of the Key...you inspire.
Fraternally,
