Not personal information, but maybe just some information about the chapter it came from. Maybe some of you ladies are stewards of the past and know something about your history that may help.
The original engraving is as follows:
Eta Beta
T.A.I.
1-19-1958
Does anyone know anything about this chapter? To be fair, I believe that it is supposed to come from Washington. However, it would appear that the chapter doesn't exist any longer.
I also wanted this on the boards so that there is a record that a wonderful woman with the initials T.A.I. had previously owned this badge.
Any info would be helpful since I think it is important to pay homage to our past and recognize those who came before us  . |
As others have said, I would also keep the letters of the other sister on it. That's just me. For the record, the Eta Beta chapter of Phi Mu was our University of Washington chapter which was installed May 3, 1917. The chapter closed in April 1996. Something VERY INTERESTING about this chapter is that we are preparing to re-colonize it (in Fall 2013, I think). It's an interesting little piece of history and I think it would be great to keep this badge with the same initials on it. Good luck!
