Could this possibly be real?

Take a look at Ebay:

"This is an ORIGINAL FOUNDING DOCUMENT of 1893 for the Theta Chi national fraternal organization, which currently has thousands of members even today.

The frame is original and most importantly, the individual signatures of the nine founders are perfectly legible.

The original gold, hand incripted medallion is also still attached with the original ribbon.

Yet another prominent feature of the Charter is the elaborate lithographs with the creator's signature present.

This is THE most important document the Theta Chi Fraternity must value and cherish.

I acquired this framed document over ten years ago when I purchased a building in Oakland, CA.

The paper of the Charter is torn in various places however, these tears do not interfere with the legibility what so ever and can easily be remedied.

Shipping: will be completed by Fedex, buyers request.

Payment: I require prepayment for the Charter before shipping and will not accept refunds. To ensure the buyers satisfaction, I suggest that the buyer view the document prior to purchase. If the buyer is not located in the Northern California area, I can arrange a meeting with a member of the local Theta Chi fraternity for a viewing and conference call with the buyer."

Claims to be an original Theta Chi charter. I can see that it is not, but could it possibly be some kind of merger of Theta Chi with another organization? She's got a load of nerve, with that $30,000 opening bid. SHEESH
