I don't think vendors would ever require member id numbers. I mean maybe if it was something only from the GLO's own website. I know though that non- greeks and greeks off other GLOs can buy stuff from Herff Jones and other online greek vendors. Many of my sisters have gotten chapter guards or nicer badges from their non-greek parents.
As for buying stuff from other GLOs, one of the local greek vendors at my campus had tons of stuff for all GLOs. I have bought stuff there that is not from my GLO as gifts for other friends (I used to work in an office with a bunch of AKAs and SAEs). I never had a problem. If someone knew that I was Theta and asked why I was buying something that was AKA, I would simply tell them it was a gift or something.
