CJ, I agee 200% with CP2000! If you feel that close to your MIL then by all means give her the pin. I have thought of giving my MIL our Mother's Pin too but I haven't gotten around to it. Maybe, I will order one at convention next week.
edited to add pin choices

The chapter I advise pins mothers/fathers/anyone that is special to them because some women have a family friend that was like a mother to them or dont have the traditional family. They dont use the pins from CO, instead they use a hand made pin from blue and gold ribbon and a rose in the center. I think its a bit more special. They do use the ritual from the book though.
To all those orgs w/o a ritual/pin. Make your own. Write your own ritual. I have written two rituals for Tau Beta Sigma... its fun. Just dont use ritual secrets when dealing with non members, but Im sure since many chapters have local symbols etc, things can be made and it can be beautiful! If anyone needs help with a ceremony, let me know!

I think that we don't have a mother's or a father's pin. I might be mistaken. I like the idea of that though.

Since I know your situation, I would say "yes". I think your (future) mother-in-law would be really touched and I think it's a beautiful gesture! If you are close and feel that it's appropriate, then that's good enough for me.
I don't think anyone would be so uncouth as to say, "you can't give your Mother in Law a pin" and if they do, well *&$%# 'em!!

I entirely agree with this post, which I was going to make until CP took it. I think the future WhiteDaisyMIL would be especially touched, considering your situation.

Alpha Sigma Tau does have a mothers pin. It looks just like our badge but with the letters vertical, instead of horizontal.
