Why not make sure we have a positive relationship with him so that we can pursuade him to let us to have access to some of our historically significant badges that he purchases for his daughter? Isn't it better to at least know where the badges are and that they are with an Alpha Phi rather than have them go to random pin collectors around the world?

The only thing I don't like about that is that it sounds like he wants to start dealing with International and possibly jacking up the prices so that he can make a profit. It's a win-win situation for him.
I'm not as upset about him winning as I would be with some other random person because it will go to his daughter. However, someone did bring up a point that he seems to be hitting other organizations and claiming that he has a daughter who is ___. I wonder how we could confirm something like that.
