I think it is still allowed, but most, if not all NPCs state that any other organization's jewelry (sweetheart pins, mother's pins, professional org pins, etc.) has to be worn below your NPC badge. Although if you're in an NPC, I don't know why you would need/want a mother's pin. Any occasion at which you could wear it, wouldn't you be more apt to wear your own badge? Then again I like things simple and don't like guards or dangles for my badge either.

I don't see why not - the point is you are a mother of a member, whether or not you yourself are a member of that GLO.

All are so lovely and a great honor to Moms! I am sure they desearve them!!

Beautiful S X pin also.

As far as I know LXA does not have one.

I don't see why not, but my hypothetical future daughter's ABC mother's pin would (properly) go below my AEPhi badge. But we all know my hypothetical future daughter is going AEPhi, right??

AEPhi does not have a mother's or father's pin. It would be kind of hard to design one, since only initiated sisters may wear the Greek letters.

(BTW, I think it's very sweet that AZ-AlphaXi's mom uses her mother's pin as her guard.

If you're a member of XYZ but attending an event of your daughter's ABC sorority where pin attire is appropriate I think it'd be an excellent way to show your pride in your group and in her group. Some of those pins really make want a ton of daughters in different groups.

We have had many members whose mother's were members of other NPC groups. Those mothers will wear the AOII mother's pin while they help with recruitment or just come to Parents' Weekend events. I know of one member whose mother is a Phi Mu and her mom wears her AOII mother's pin all of the time! I think it's very sweet!

I love that Sigma Chi one - good thing I already have my sons going "I want to be a Sigma Chi!"

I can't find a picture, but Delta Zeta has (or at least had) one in the shape of a column.

Alpha Phi has one that's a circle of ivy leaves. I'd post a picture but I don't know how.

Thanks for posting the picture, bejazd. I love it, too! It looks really great with our badge (as I mentioned in previous post, my mom wears hers with her Gamma Phi badge).
