i'm guessing it's been pulled cuz items that have sold can still be viewed after the auction has ended for a certain amount of time.
as for the signifigance of badges as opposed to ritual garb, i do agree that ritual garb is varies between glo's. badges are the same all around though. for instance, my great grandmother was a kkg and her badge was left with her estate and now my grandmother has it. i contacted her and asked if i could have it. mainly b/c i knew she wouldn't understand the signifigance and it would end up getting lost eventually. also b/c i want to eventually send it back to nationals.
as for when a chapter closes, at least in sigma kappa's case, everything having to do with ritual is taken back to nationals. technically they own all of it. this includes any ritual garb or books or anything. they even go so far as to take the shroud we use to cover our charter when a member dies. don't freak, that's not secret. anybody can know that.
anyhow, i think it's quite sickening to see people sell fraternity/sorority stuff they think exposes ritual or any other type of secret. as for badges, they just don't care. as one seller put it to me, "it's how i make a living."
