I am NOT wearing any pins that are not mine. I have a graduation stole that I wore at my graduation. It hangs on my mirror. It has all my family members pins. GM, GF, mom, dad. mine. We are trying to figure out what this pin was. And you know what? I can rest my head nicely on my pillow allowing my brother with Multiple Sclerosis who loved the world out of my sweet grandmother to wear her sorority crest as a DG as as tie tac if that makes him smile and remember her! If someone mistakes him for a Delta Gamma...their prob! Oy!

Many GLOs had various non-official pieces of jewelry made with their crests ( sorry Titchou, we don't have one at all, so what do I know ) and Coats of arms on them. If you want to come to GC and ask for help about a piece of jewelry related to a GLO, don't get upset if you are told something you don't like, even though the rules don't change for your brother with multiple sclerosis. I'm sure there are many ways that your brother can remember his beloved grandmother without breaking the rules of the organization that obviously meant so much to her. It's not that others may think he is a DG, but that he is wearing an emblem that means nothing to him that meant so much to your grandmother and all of her DG sisters. If you have a problem with that, just scurry away from GC...we didn't ask to hear about your pin, your brother or your grandmother. We just told you the way things are done. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself.
