This pin measures 1/2" square, and is the insignia for the Phi Kappa Sigma International Fraternity. This all-male fraternity was started in 1850 at the University of Pennsylvania and today has over 50 active chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Similar pins I've found on line have some type of stamps or engraving on the reverse, this one however does not. Could Grandma have known a member of this fraternity? I will probably never know.

Do you still have this pin?
ReplyDeleteYes of course. Grandma held on to it for some reason. I hope to find out why someday :).
