I think the first thing to do with regard to this is find out what the official policy on ADPi pins or historical items is from EO.
Then find a way to make it work with ebay or make a suggestion to update the policy. This may include a proposal to the foundation or some other group to create an official fund for saving things from ebay.
With the freedom of the internet and ebay - it should be an organization policy if you all want anyone to follow it. It certainly should be led by the women who have an interest in ebay and are trying regularly to protect the history of the sorority.
It doesn't seem to me that there ever was a clear written/documented policy on ADPi items in the COB or elsewhere. Except regarding the Alpha Pins - which clearly state they are property of the chapter and are loaned to the alpha member during her pledge period.
I wish this hadn't gotten so difficult and expensive. There isn't any one of us that saw the ADPhi pin that wouldn't have wanted it for ourselves or for the sorority.
