I agree with you, Mary. While it is sickening to see things like our ritual book or the original Tri Delt constitution for sale to the highest bidder on such an impersonal forum as Ebay, it would cost us -- and all greeks -- so much in time and financial resources to fight it. I doubt if there is any standard, other than a "do the right thing" act of conscience that this falls under. Almost certainly no legal standard. You are absolutely right in saying the best we can do is make sure they never end up in the wrong hands to begin with. So if anyone has any gorgeous badges just sitting around
i know of a very young chapter that would love to have them to wear and care for!
