Check this out: I go to ebay and find 2 badges for sale, and one of them says "AXO Harp" - well of course the symbol of AXO is the Lyre (and although often used interchangeably with harp it is incorrect). So I email the guy to tell him if he wants to sell something sacred to me that the least he could do is get the symbol right (how hard is it to click on the national organization website). I get this reply back:
"It is a shame that you don't have the manners to talk nicely. I am sorry for
not knowing the difference between the 2 musical instruments. I certainly
hope that the sorrority taught you more than how to be a terrible person.
Also, if it were such an afront and you really cared, you might have thought
to sign your name.
Harold"
I was so mad - I couldn't believe that he decided I was a terrible person for emailing him. I told him it wasn't just me, that a lot of Greeks didn't appreciate this selling of badges. I'll let you guys know what happens, but I thought I'd share with you the stupidity out there! Guess he thinks I'm a terrible person because I belong to an organization (like all GLO members) that is sacred to me! You notice that he NEVER addressed why he was selling the badge, how he acquired it, etc. He just wanted to put me down because I called him on his error!
I always try to email when I see any badges for sell on ebay - its not just mine, its all greeks...no matter what the letter....Peace!
