Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll check the old Chapel Hill Cemetery. We shared the pin with a friend of the NC Collection who’s well-versed in all things Di-Phi. But he was not familiar with the emblem. That said, we didn’t check the Di-Phi section of the Cemetery to see whether there are graves bearing the symbol.

There may be additional clues lurking on memorial inscriptions.
