Another Badge on Ebay
 

I found another badge on ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...748634306&rd=1. I am currently the highest bidder on it. My ID is haremdancer please don't outbid me unless you see a non member doing it.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh --- i hate ebay sometimes...i picked up a pin off there the other day for less than $40 - just cause it was mislabled...

I really do hope I get it. I have a plain badge and was considering getting a pearl badge from international headquarters as a second badge, but if I can keep one away from a collector I'll do it.

The seller doesn't know his/her greek letters. That's Gamma Epsilon from Univ. of North Carolina, chartered in 1945, unfortunately, it's inactive now.

I had noticed that.

Random badge-related question
 

Is it still possible to get a chapter guard with pearls on it? Anyone know where I might find one?

Try Alpha Gold Donielle.

Thanks, Leslie. I didn't see any pearl guards on their website, but I remembered seeing them in a Theta Chi catalog awhile back, so I checked on the Theta Chi section of the BurrPat website and they're there. I might order it through there if I'm able to. I don't understand why they don't offer them through the AGD section. A pearl guard looks so pretty with a pearl badge.

I lost the auction.

I was so bummed....I stepped away from my computer to grab a glass of water and it got sniped by a collector.....rats!

hey - i was wondering how accurate you think the whole sister search thingy on the IHQ website is? i bought a pin off of ebay recently with a sister's name on the back of it. i looked her up and although she was initiated in 1923 it still has her name and address listed - if she were truly alive she'd be 'bout 98 or 99 maybe even 100. i'm just wondering if i should even try to write to her to let her know i found her badge.

I'd say try it. Maybe her children will get the letter.

Another badge I found! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=11145

Tanya, Did you win any of the ebay badges?

No. It got too rich for me. I'm going to wait until later to bid on this one.

I actually found the sister that this belongs to!!! She doesn't have an email address, though, so I was wondering, how weird do you think it would be to call her?

Is she in Good Standing or was she Suspended? You might want to check w/ IHQ before contacting her as if she's suspended her badge should have been returned to IHQ.

There is another badge up for sale on E-bay. The starting bid is $56. The person sellins it says she really wants to sell to another Alpha Gam. She says the badge is 14K gold. I thought they were all 10K. Is that right?

Lisa, as far as I know, all Alpha Gam badges are 10k gold. Perhaps the older ones were 14k, but is she claiming this as an antique badge?

There is now also an orchid pin with the Alpha Gamma Delta crest on in on sale on EBay.

Last I checked.. Susan was the high bidder on the orchid pin. As much as I'd love to have that pin... I won't bid against her.

Good luck, Susan! I'll be watching your back! :D

Hey I was wondering what the Orchid pin was all about? Anyone have any clues? I was thinking that it might be from Hawaii but didn't know?

Off to class...
