A side note on the pin Jadey28 posted: it is a theta chi pin... I could have sworn there are a couple sisters on here.

Here's another one.

And another one...

LOL at the listing "Has rubies for eyes." Um, last time I checked, rubies were red (I haven't been out of college that long for things like this to change!) ;)

I hope a Phi Sig wins this item.

i thought the same thing jadey

There's another one here.

And note the high bidder has bought several fraternity/sorority pins in the past.....

Badge on E-bay
 

Is there anyone from the Zeta Epsilon chapter on this board. There is a badge on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...944796950&rd=1

Someone has placed a bid for it. I wish I had the money I would place a bid. Does anyone know if Headquarters will purchase badges from e-bay?

The Zeta Epsilon Badge
 

I actually sent the seller an e-mail asking her why she was selling her pins on ebay. Her response was that she had two sets and wanted to share the extras with another Phi Sig. Her name is Tracey. I still have to wonder in what way she is justifying her actions. She sells enough stuff on ebay (based on her profile) to realize that she has no control over who bids and buys. Couldn't she have donated the set to her chapter or send them back to National?

Re: Badge on E-bay
 

I don't know if National does, but I heard of an item that was being auctioned once that a couple sisters (I don't remember who, but I believe they had higher positions in the sorority) put their money together once they realized they were bidding against each other to make sure they won it so they could make sure that National got it.

And how exactly did she end up with an extra set of both her new member pin and badge?

There are a couple of other sororities that have groups who buy up all the ebay pins and send them to their nationals... some are authorized, others aren't but I don't think anyone gets reimbursed. It may be something to consider doing though... start up a group with a web site that is phi sig members (but not affliated with national) where people can donate to, say, a paypal account that could then be used to buy pins and return them to national.

Its worth considering.

before we get all that started... lemme get carolyn on here - she explained something to me last week that might be a bit of information we could all use.
