This thread asked that question too, and got a lot of good responses, including some from lawyers…

have you noticed how the poster on the other side of that debate only seems to appear in threads about badges and GLO memorabilia?

Why would this annoy you? Don’t you think it should be up to the GC member which topics he does or does not post in?
Once again you’ve generalized about someone you really don’t know anything about. I am a proud and active alumnus of very old and prestigious fraternity. Because of my appreciation for our greek history, I dedicate just about every spare minute of my time to historical research on fraternities and sororities, and my GC posting habits tend to follow that interest. I collect badges, rituals, regalia, photos, pledge manuals, directories, history books and just about everything else greek – so yes, I consider myself an authority on the subject of badges.
Just because I don’t jump onto every inane chatter thread on this forum, do not make the mistake of thinking I don’t care about being greek. You might say I care enough about the greek community to actually point out when I don’t think we’re living up to our ideals like we’re supposed to.
I mean, in this particular case, basically people insulted that woman because she sold a pin. Insulted her publicly. With no chance for her to rebut. A woman whose family had previously been very generous to the sorority. They wanted her to give away a $5k item and she declined. So they called her a greedy %$*#(@. Pretty much sum it up? * Do you really not see that that behavior is inappropriate for people who are supposed to uphold a higher standard of conduct? If you don’t see that, then I guess we have nothing more to talk about.
* Then when someone disagreed with what was said, you came over here to a more secluded forum and posted something unflattering about HIM.
ISUkappa, thanks very much for the kind words. They seem to have been lost on this audience, but I appreciate it nonetheless. Other rescue orgs have learned that collectors like me can be very helpful to their efforts. But I suppose it took KKG and GphiB a while to realize that, so it will take ADPi and Pi Phi some time as well.
