🔍 This authentic Theta Chi pledge pin was manufactured by Burr, Patterson & Auld, one of the most respected producers of fraternal jewelry in the mid-20th century. It was worn by new initiates (pledges) before receiving their formal badge and signifies early affiliation with one of America’s oldest and most respected men’s fraternities.

The pin features the Theta Chi colors of red and white in a durable hard enamel finish and includes its original screw-back disk—a feature preferred by collectors for its secure, period-correct fastening.
