Well, I have a pin story. A sidebar, I have my original pin on a necklace with my dagger from my days as an NO. It is emeralds and pearls and I love it. However, I bought another pin at Convention, maybe 1997 in Norfolk, all pearls, very old, from the KD Foundation. I think they called them "Fallen Sister" pins that were turned in by family members upon the death of a member. I had thought I might turn it into a "pinky" ring. Fast forward to 1999. Eta Alpha chapter was installed at Texas A&M University. Alumnae were asked to serve as "Big Sisters" to the new members. I was given the name of an awesome young lady to be her "big sister". What fun for me. As luck would have it, I was also involved in the installation and was able to give her the pin I had purchased from the foundation and ask her to pass it down to her little sister and so on as their initiation pin. I think the tradition is still continuing. At least we both think it is as far as we know. She became a member of council and continues to be involved as she is serving with me on the House Corp Board at Texas A&M.
