member selling own badge on ebay

Sisters, there is an ASA selling several lots of ASA items on ebay. She is also selling her badge and ribbons from ceremonies. According to the location of the items, I think she's from the Alaska chapter. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Here is the link to the auction:

Maybe she really needs the money? I'm saddened by this. Could the Alaska chapter advisor contact her to discuss this?

And the fact she is selling "Pledged" with her ASA stuff. (????)

I sent a note to their advisor. I'm assuming it is someone from that chapter and not the closed colony at Fairbanks (I don't think any of them were ever initiated).

Well, all I can say is everything is definitely overpriced. She must have de-activated (dropped her letters). The pin may go, but everything else is high priced. I don't think there is anything we can do. Also, the pin for sale should be reported to HQ. It's summer and I doubt a chapter advisor is actively doing advisor stuff (speaking from experience). However, the chapter advisor from Alaska did get the advisor of the year award. Even so, there isn't much an advisor can do, especially if she did drop.

Even if they are on summer break, I would think if she knows what's going on/who the girl is she might be able to do something about it. Your position doesn't go "on break" because the school year is over (speaking as someone who gets FCT emails every week).

I know the position of an advisor doesn't go on break, however there isn't as much business to attend to. They don't meet regularly, and I highly doubt any advisor puts as much time into ASA during the summer as she does during the school year. It's probably close to impossible to track down majority of the girls. Anyways, it may help to contact the advisor, she can possibly do something about it. So yes, it is good for her to know. However, if the girl who is selling her stuff did drop (which I am assuming she did- how in the world would you sell your badge if you didn't), there really isn't much that can be done to stop her. It's morally wrong to sell your badge, but she can sell as much merchandise as she pleases. All I am saying, there really isn't much that can be done.
