ahhhhhh...i'm sooooooo freaking sorry. bwg is a member of alpha gam. she only bids on alpha gam pins, and usually, only the important ones (like arc ones) my mistake! here's the e-mail i recieved from her today.


"Yes, you e-mailed me before about whether or not I was an Alpha gam and yes
I am still an Alpha Gam and yes I understand what the Arc of Epsilon Pi
means. I am very good friends with a sister who has earned 2 arc w/ diamonds
and pearl for her years serving on the International Council and for local
Alpha Gam service.I,myself hope to be nominated for one next Convention,
when I will have served seven years. I understand your concern about
non-members bidding on badges but after seeing so many actual Alpha Gams put
badges up for sale on e-bay(which I rank right up there w/ blasphemy) and
after talking with our own Grand President Suzanne Spicer, who has tried to
get e-bay to stop but without success, I just sort of decided what is the
use. When I see a badge I really want I go after it. For awhile I bid on all
badges but you can't afford all of them. I am looking for an older badge to
wear and hope to pass it down through my family. I have in the past notified
international about my ownership of other badges, but they really don't keep
up with them like they should and many are in circulation. Anyway that is my
soapox. I do plan to bid on this badge and rest assured it will be purchased
by an Alpha Gam if I can help it.Thanks for your concern.
