That cowboy hat looks like something the host committee wore for the Houston Convention. I don't think it really is one of their hats but thre are so many Pi Phis in Texas that it doesn't surprise me that they make cowboy hats that have a Pi Phi logo.

I bet that fork was once part of a set that belonged to a chapter. It would not surprise me if a lot of chapter property was misplaced when the chapter lost their housing (which was common in the 70s) and it is now resurfacing on Ebay simply because it's a relatively easy way to sell things. It may be worth a lot more than whatever the bid is, but that's the risk you take with an auction. Things can go for less than they are worth, or more... both new and old. Collecting spoons is more common than collecting forks which may explain the low bids

A couple of members bought two of the "matted engravings" for our house. I think they ended up being disappointed with what they had bought (quality and appearance). I'm not sure how much they paid, but anything over $5 would be a rip-off (at least from my point of view).

HI Susan!
Yes, I agree...the engravings appear to be a dime a dozen for all the greek organizations and the ones that were purchased for our house were nothing breathtaking. However, if you'd like to invest in a framing job, I'm sure a PiPhi engraving of any quality would look fabulous. Ours are just matted and unframed at the moment...perhaps my chapter should look into getting some frames :-p

The high bidder on these badges is the same person and I was wondering if anyone knew if this bidder is a Pi Phi. I don't have the funds to rescue these, but I'm just curious. You can PM me if you'd like!

[Wine&SilverBlue]

not a pin, but a really cool bracelet if someone is interested:

[Lady Pi Phi]

She's only starting the bidding at $1. Maybe someone should buy it and then return it to headquarters.

I'd try and get it, but the seller only ships to the US.

[Speechpath]

She is selling all sorts of Pi Phi stuff, cups, key chains etc. Wish somebody could've gotten her darn pledge pin back from her. Who knows, maybe she was initiated and her real badge has yet to show up.

[angelove]

This is kind of cool

I can't imagine wanting someone else's initiation certificate, but it does have Amy Burnham Onken's signature, and it's also neat to see how little the certificates have changed since the 1920s.

[jharb]

I'd probably bid on it and send it to central office so they could have it in their archives (since it has amy burnham onken's signature and all!).
