I've read that before (the bolded), but I'm wondering what that's based on. Say you kick a member out and she refuses to return her paraphernalia, her badge, etc. Does Chi Omega file a small claims suit for replevin? Is there a contract stating that the fee you paid for the badge was a lease for life of membership type of an affair?
It seems like a silly question, but considering there are entire websites dedicated to the resale of fraternity jewelry to folks who may or may not be members, I just doubt the validity of the bolded statement.
That said, it is probably still good form to just mail the badge back to Chi Omega's HQ with a cover letter explaining where you found it.
--as an aside, are you positive it isn't a pledge pin? I wouldn't think the initials would be on the back of one of those.
