Yes, I have seen websites of Greek badge (pin) collectors. But I would ask a question: in your organizations, do you "own" your badge (pin). Legally speaking, in Omega Psi Phi, the Fraternity has the title to all badges,and the fee paid is a "rental" fee, even though not much has been made of recovery of badges from E Bay or some other outfit. (I've seen our badges on E Bay also.)This is a matter of some consternation to some members. The fault lies not with the purchaser but with the brother who didn't make know the proper disposition of the badge at his death or some family member innocently put these things up for sale who don't know the sentimental value and ownership issues involved here.

Que Psi Phi 'til teh day I die!"
