Mother pinning

Ok... we haven't had this in a long time and the sisters that want to pin their mothers are graudating so I am trying to figure out how get everything together.

If anyone can please tell me how to do this, please pm me or reply.

Also what do these pins look like and where do we get them

HI There,

The mother's pin you order through HQ. You can see a picture of it on the Burr Patterson Auld website where they show Phi Sig jewelry. Order pins now, they can take a while to get in. The mother's pin is beautiful and has the crest on it.

As for the ceremony it is an open ritual - when I was still active Iota Gamma did it once with mother's and daughters only at a potluck. the next year it was during another potluck but all family members were invited including the father's and brothers.

It is a beautiful ceremony. I encourage your chapter to do it if possibly. you can pm me or even Beth (SapphireSphinx) for more info as we both pinned our moms.

i suggest that if you can, do it! it's a great way for mom's to understand a little bit of what the sorority is about.

Aside from being a great way to get your mom involved, it also makes a great mother's day present!

as Carolyn said you order them through headquarters, they are a gold bar with gold crest in the center. We did a pinning once at our chapter founder's day and it was very nice. The ritual is in the ritual book and is only about 10 or 15 minutes long I believe depending on how many mothers come to be pinned.
