Barbara....ZTA badge up for auction!
 

Hi Barbara,

I checked out the auctions again and this time I made sure that this was a ZTA badge (we have a picture of all NPC badges in our Frat Ed. manual). Visit the auction at: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1146205911

The auction is still fairly early, but what's really sad is the seller of the badge. She's a DPhiE and apparently she's selling other GLOs badges and paraphenalia. She tries to defend herself in her "About Me" page saying that she rescues these badges from being sent to the melting pot, but I think it's bull...and she knows that she can make $$$ with the badges.

It really saddens me to see Greeks selling treasured badges. You'd think that they'd be respectful about it.

Thanks for the notice - I've already alerted my nationals about this.

Take care!
Barbara

i just hope that the badges are really going to people from those organizations!

it has an alpha dangle on it also, hope it can get rescued

Thanks Michelle - I already notified IO.

How'd Recruitment go for y'all? I got the FSU results earlier this afternoon and Beta Gamma took 56 new members (quota plus 6).

apparently a ZTA is the highest bidder so it's not a biggie (according to the message boards on the sisters only section of zta.org) but ladies check this badge out bc it has to be one of the prettiest I have EVER seen out of all the orgs out there but of course I'm always favoring Zeta :)

oh wow. that really is a beautiful pin. I have to get a new pin bc I lost mine during prefs. :( I want the diamond and sapphire one (my big has it and it's beautiful) but I'm kinda low on funds. So, looks like either the plain gold or silver pin.

New One :(

so far it's pretty cheap so hopefully a Zeta will get it!

Ugh...

Here's another one. I'd buy it if I were an initiated member.

Badges on eBay
 

:mad: Just to let you all know, I've seen lots of badges on eBay and two pledge pins just this week. ZTA stuff is just everywhere on eBay!!! It's really very sad. I contacted eBay about them, because technically, the pledge pins were stolen if you think about it. Anyway, I hope IO knows about these, but at least now eBay does too. :( This is just so sad and frustrating! There's even a buyer on there who is just some random guy out there who collects fraternity and sorority badges!:eek: So, whatever he buys is just gonna sit or be re-sold!!! Anyway, I just had to vent because some of the people who are buying them really have no concept of what they mean and it just sucks, period.

Thanks for reading my rant, and keep watch of eBay!!!

ZLAM,
Melissa

Melissa,
I watch eBay and report all sales of badges and related goods to IO. As they say, that's my job... :D

:p So glad to hear it!!!

ZLAM!

Hi ladies!
We have another pin for sale. :rolleyes:
Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1090970906

I'd bid on it but I don't have a little something called money. :( Anyways, make sure it goes to a ZTA and also make sure that we're not bidding against each other!

Sorry to barge in on your thread, but I just saw this while trying to rescue an AOII badge or two on ebay:

Hope that a ZTA can bring this one home!

Fraternally,

I think it's funny that the seller can't even get the name of our sorority correct. According to them, we are the Tau Alpha Zeta Theta Epsilon Iota Sigma sorority. http://www.plaudersmilies.de/happy/roflmao.gif

Hey ladies,

I was bored at work today and was browsing through ebay...I came across a Zeta Tau Alpha pin.

Thought you would like to know

Have a great day :)
