i just thought i might let you know about a little run in i had over email with a particular ebay seller. after trying to email him asking the simple question of whether the seller happened to be a sister / intended to sell to a sister, etc, i received a flaming email from which the following was a part. i figure that alpha delta pi's pins can't be the only that he sells and that you might all want to be aware of him. his ebay name is skidmarks i believe.
"Now that you ask, it was my full intent to insult your organization.
....
IF the pin belonged to your organization, why do I have it with a
reciept for purchasing it from a scrap gold dealer? If I had not bought
these pins they would be large Mercedes-Benz symbols hanging on some persons
neck by now. You need to police your own organization better. If you
consider the pin the property of the group then you had better improve the
organization and the recruiting to get people with a better sense of what it
mean to be a member. They should have a note in thier will requesting the
pins be returned or buried with them. They should send the pin to the
undergrad chapter to be recycled and loved by a new member. Not sold for
scrap by your trailer trash decendents as these obviously were.
Seems like an internal problem to me. Take of your own house before coming
after my property.
Cheers,
Skid
PS I only put the "buy it now" amount up for some stupid sorority chick to
use. Usually one comes along and can't stand the thought of some pig like
me owning a cherished item of thier group and buys it. Works like a charm.
I make a fortune of these fools."
sorry, just had to vent... i tried to do a search on his name on gc to see if it had been discussed but didn't find anything... if there are any other fairly new members, at least maybe now you are aware of this jackass too
