Welcome to Greek Chat, Miss Mal! Yes, we've had sisters searching for their pins. There was even an incident when one sister's pin was on ebay, but their wheels spin slowly.

Good luck!

Don't give up hope that you might find it! I got to meeting once and realized that my pin had fallen off at some point in my walk to campus. I retraced my steps, looking everywhere, but couldn't find it...until I was standing in the middle of the street, waiting for cars to pass by so I could get back to my room (dangerous, I know, but that's the only way to do it) and I look down and see something glinting in the middle of the road - my pin.

So, the moral is, if I can find my pin in the middle of a very busy street, and in perfect condition, you might find yours too! Good luck.

I had searched high and low for my pin for weeks. I knew I had put it in a safe place, but where? I emptied every drawer, every jewel box, anywhere I thought it might be. The other day, I found the Balfour box, but it was empty. Something made me look underneath the lining and voila...my pin had somehow slipped under it. I was so glad to see it. It had been years since I had worn it to an alum luncheon. It looked so small but still so beautiful...a golden torch with five pearls and a diamond in the center. It is still meaningful after all these years.

Keep searching. You never know when and where it may turn up.

I hope you find your pin soon!

Just a thought, but instead of bidding on a pin on ebay, why not replace it with a new one ordered via HQ?

The pins on ebay are often stolen, or sold at estate sales, etc. It's a pin that belongs to another sister.
