Thank you to Amy, and to our archivist at HQ, for your research and followup.

Pardon the crash, I'm not a Theta but I happened to see the badge on ebay and it was indeed gorgeous. The name engraved on the back was Maxine Smith, in addition to Gamma [chapter] and '44. Often the pictures on ebay do not have that high a resolution and you can't read the engraving on the back of a badge.
I assume I'm not divulging anything inappropriate as the ebay listing was obviously in an open forum. Just thought someone might know/be interested in the original owner. . .
