I know we might not be a part of the *same* sorority, but we are panhellic sisters nonetheless. Is there a way we can work together to fight this sort of thing legally?
Is anyone familiar with the legal system as it applies to greeks, ebay, and VERO on ebay?
best wishes in getting this one back from the winning bidder-

This is a good question. However while it may tick off a lot of us across Panhellenic lines, It may not exactly be feasible to pursue this issue legally due to financial burdens when money can be spent elsewhere improving scholarship, member education, etc etc. I think the main focus now is educating new members with each pledge class and existing members in our collegiate and alumnae chapters about this issue and proper ways to dispose of pins, things on paper, and other items. However, you're always going to have a few disgruntled members that have quit for whatever reason and will never adhere to anything.
Also, a lot of our older members do not have internet access or do anythign with computers whatsoever. A lot of times items are bought and sold through estate sales and then end up on eBay. I think we should educate our members early on this issue as well to make arragements for pins and other items to be returned to HQ in will's or a close friend/family member to see it gets done.
These are just my thoughts and ideas. Anyone else?
