I also know of one DG who may have bought it for her M.I.L. as that DG's own mother (who coincidentally also was a DG) was deceased. I thought this was a beautiful gesture, particularly as the M.I.L. had essentially become like a "2nd mother" to her.
Is it wrong of me to want a Pi Alpha pin, just for nostalgia purposes? (Not that I would wear it--just as a keepsake!)
Not at all - I bought one and I have it as a keepsake. I quite like our Pi Alpha pin, in its simplicity. I like the white and gold together. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the only "person" who would wear the Pi Alpha and the initiates' badge AT THE SAME TIME, would be on a Hannah doll. I guess you pin them on to your Hannah doll so that the badge & pledge pin do not get lost?
