I imagine a member of any organization (GLO, Elk, Mason, etc.) would be extremely upset if they saw their objects that are reserved solely for their members or bretheren up for grabs to the general public! As for me, I will ensure that I am buried with my pin.

I probably will be buried with an Alpha Phi Omega pin as well, but since in my chapter, the tradition is that you pass down pins to your littles, the pin that I had when I left college was the one that I bought after I gave my pin to my little. SInce then I've put pins through the wash (they don't survive that well) and other similar things. OTOH, I bought on ebay an Alpha Phi Omega pin from the 1950's that is about half the size of what I have now. I'm happy I have that pin and I'm not really sure how I would have gotten it if they didn't sell such things on ebay.
Fortunately with Alpha Phi Omega pins (the standard ones) being brass and non-jeweled, the bids don't get up into the stratosphere, the way the ones for other GLOs do.
