Although I don't know if they are legally allowed to do this, I have noticed it too and find it pretty upsetting. I also do not like the fact that they auction off old fraternity and sorority pins. I know in my sorority you are supposed to make it known what is to be done with your pin upon death, and having it auctioned off on eBay is certainly not one of the options. I would hate to see my pin in the posession of some stranger who doesn't know the meaning and certainly doesn't value it like I do.
