I don't know the exact statistics, but I think most resignations occur during collegiate years (few alumnae do so, unless they are making some sort of protest statement). With that being the case, the simple way to ensure this doesn't happen is to not submit the paperwork until the badge is returned... the resignation is not official until the property is returned, therefore that person is still going to be billed. That may sound petty but so is selling your own badge on Ebay out of anger. Besides, since the standard badge is gold-filled not 14K, it only costs ~$10. Anyone who bids up a plan badge hasn't priced them (honestly though, that is my advice when bidding on any badge-- know how much that badge costs new and whether it is truly vintage before you bid)

To answer your question, Lady Pi Phi, no there isn't. Even though our policies require that property be returned, since individual members have purchased their badges, short of holding back the paperwork, there isn't anything you can do.
