I suggest contacting the national office of the ABC organization and talking to them.
Phi Mu has been developing an extensive museum of items. A climate controlled exhibit hall in incorporated into the new EO plans! We have also been building a collection of badges from each chapter as well, especially from the chartering classes.
At the 2002 convention there was even a display of "inaugral" gowns from national presidents
.
While title to Phi Mu badges is technically signed over to Phi Mu at initiation, Phi Mu honors all requests to keep a badge in a family. When a badge is returned to the EO, it is kept for many many years, in case a legacy in a family occurs who would like to have a particular badge. Perhaps that is the case as well with your GLO.
Good luck and let us know what you decide in protecting that wonderful treasure in your family.
