 I am aware of the wall o' pins at the AO.  I am going to at least wait until my son reaches college.  If he is lucky enough to be at a school that has a Beta chapter/colony and gets a pledge, they will get passed to him enmasse.
However, if there is ever a colony put back at Indiana State University, Terre Haute, Indiana (where Larry Bird went to college) I might consider giving them to the founding fathers as a gift.
