I am utterly stunned at the accusations implied in some of these posts. I will not do the same. Thanks everyone who was helpful in my initial request to help me identify what the purpose of this DG crest pin that belongs TO MY FAMILY.

Why did you contact DG's headquarters? Did you call them up and say, 'Hey, my brother has been wearing a pin with DG's crest on it. He's buried it with our DG grandmother now. We're cool, right?' I really can't imagine why you felt the need to call them (and further, to share the fact that you called with GC). Very interesting. Very odd.
And regarding your comment about not excusing any wrongful behavior by mentioning his MS... well, that's debatable. You may not have intended for your posts to come across as excusing poor judgment, but that's kinda what they did. Especially when considering what's underlined below.

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!  |

He has MS and his life is hard. If this makes him happy, fine. I am sure there are many dissenting opinions about the correctness of this, including my own, but sometimes I believe the concept is larger than the rule. I am glad he is happy in the memory of my GM's college/sorority life, as am I.
