Hey DZ Rose...
I totally understand your frustration with someone buying your badge. I too have been ticked off many a time by ebay randoms buying my sorority's pins n' stuff. I am not one to normally give people the benefit of the doubt, but since I've gotten in touch with some of my fellow sisters who bid on ebay, we've formed an alliance and when someone bids on a badge, pin, etc. and they're from another sorority or a random, we email them and *sometimes* (albeit rarely) the person is buying for their friend or biological sister or something. Now, I don't believe everyone who tells me this, don't get me wrong! But I know that I bid on a DG badge for my sister (though I'm in a different sorority) because she didn't have an ebay ID. Anyway...I know I'm rambling, but I just wanted to offer a different perspective. Bottom line is that we're all working toward the same thing, and I would rather have a fellow greek member bidding on a badge with the intention to return it to a rightful owner, than some dumb ass collector who will sell it to the highest bidder. My .2....
God, that was a long ass email! SOWWEE!
