LC/LA Info, Badges on Ebay, and more....
Hellllooooo everyone! I have finally arrived at IHQ and am unpacked. For those of you who AREN'T new to GC, I am Jenny, previously known as Bellejkp.
Several of you posted wanting more information on the LC/LA advisor, and I am here training with 8 other wonderful women for our adventure this year! I would be happy to tell you all about it as I'm going through with it. Your first step is the application, which is due in Januaury (usually). Feel free to email me with any other specific questions. So far it's great! Tomorrow we start our first day in the office. Today we went on a team development course, which was an awesome way to start our 3 weeks of training.
As for the Ebay badge post string, I just wanted to let you know that I once reported a badge being sold on there and I got a reason behind WHY IHQ can't reimburse people, or simply buy badges offline themselves - people take advantage of it. Unfortunatly, not everyone is honest and if people knew that IHQ would buy the badges, they could rig it so they would be forced to pay LOTS of money...and IHQ just can't do that. So, we rely on the honesty of people and the WONDERFUL sisters like you all out there that monitor AGD badges and write to those who are selling them. Kappa Alpha Theta recently had a really cool article about this in their Fraternity Magazine...one woman's badge was stolen many many years ago when her house was burglarized and it ended up being sold on Ebay and some clever detective reunited the woman (who was now in her 80's!) and her badge. (I believe the story is in their most recent issue if any of you want to go looking for it on their website.) Sounds like something one of us GCers would do for our sisters as well.
Hope that clears some things up! I am going to go upstairs now....3 of us just got back from grocery shopping and I need to help unload! Then it's movie time!
