I hope you all don't mind me doing this, but I thought you should know. (Barbara did the same thing for DST.)


The above hyperlink will take you to an AKA badge that is for sale on EBay. The person who has bid on it I know is NOT a member of AKA. They have bid on many other GLO pins, including my own org.

I hope one of you can get it. Maybe you can return it to your Nationals or hold onto it.

Good Luck!

I found another one!


AKAtude...if you're the one that already bid good luck. But I thought there was a possiblity that it's not you. (That's why I still posted this.)

No, it wasn't me. Thanks for letting us know.

Beautiful!!!!!

I tried bidding but I am not registered with Ebay.

I informed some sorors of the situation and they are just as unhappy about the situation as I am. Those pins should only be in the hands of sorors.

Has anyone tried contacting the people selling the pins to see where they got them?
I agree they are too precious and should be in the hands of sorors!

I tried sending an e-mail, but you have to register with ebay first.

Thank-you SoCalGirl.

Sorors, I cannot believe someone is auctioning our pearls. I'm also going to try find out any info that I can.

Greetings to the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

FYI, I don't know who checked, but this person selling your pearls, tcelano@ismi.net, on ebay is selling a bunch of sorority and fraternity pins that I am sure would anger plenty of greeks.

He also has masonic pins.

Sorors,

I think someone should send the link to Nationals to alert them on this.

I think that is a good idea, Pink Passion. If a non-greek has it, the only comfort I have is that they don't know the "rules" about the use of the pin.

If you alert AKA national office about this, please have them contact the NPC office in Indianapolis. The NPC has been working together with the NIC and eBay on this issue which concerns all GLOs.

Fraternally,

Sorors:

What's the latest with our pins on eBay? Please let me know if we need to collectively bid on the two currently being sold, and/or if we need to alert the international office of this.

DG,

You can click on the links that SoCalGirl was so generous to provide. The first one has been sold already for $45. The second one still has 1 day and 4 hours left for bids. Some by the name of "akatude" has bid $70 and that is where it stands at the moment.

Thanks, Soror Moderator! I went to both links, and was disappointed that one pin appears to have been sold to someone outside AKA. Hopefully a soror and/or the international body can purchase the remaining pin. Though my budget is tight, I would be willing to go in with other sorors to buy it and send it back to headquarters. Sorors, if you are interested in this idea, please email ASAP!

I have emailed Executive Operations at corporate headquarters to alert them to this activity. I hope we can put a stop to this soon!
