$79.99

This sale is for a *rare* vintage fraternity pin that has the greek letters of:\"Lambda Alpha Lambda\"on it; along with \"Frances Settlemeyer -- Danville, ILL.\" on the back. I had this tested quite a while ago; and can\'t remember if it tested out as 10K or 14K gold; but it was at least 10K. This was a fraternity at the University of Illinois in the 1920\'s. Here is some information I found out about it on the internet:Sigma of Alpha Kappa Pi: Kappa Zeta Rho was formed as the Pyramid Club by Marion Lindee and R. R. Goff in May 1926. In the Fall the fraternity rented a house at 906 S. Sixth Street, which accommodated the membership of seventeen. In 1929, the fraternity moved to 309 E. John Street. Lambda Alpha Lambda was formed in November 1926, under the leadership of A. S. Stewart. In February 1927, the group rented a house at 406 Green Street, which accommodated sixteen of the seventeen members, and later acquired a house at 509 E. Chalmers Street, and finally moved to 401 Green Street. Both local fraternities (Kappa Zeta Rho and Lambda Alpha Lambda) petitioned Alpha Kappa Pi, and their combined petitions were accepted. The local fraternities were installed on May 29-30, 1931 as the Sigma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi. In May 1934 the Alpha Kappa Pi chapter moved to 1109 S. Fourth Street. The Depression took its toll on student memberships, and only five members of the Alpha Kappa Pi chapter returned to school in Fall 1934, but the Chapter survived.As you can see it has small pearls and a few red stones as well.
