From "Delta Zeta and You" (our pledge manual)
All Delta Zeta Badges are the property of the sorority. The privilege of wearing the Badge is extended to all initiated members in good standing. A Badge is loaned to an initiated Delta Zeta for her own use during her lifetime. Any member lending her Badge to anyone not entitled to wear it shall forfeit it. A member may be buried wearing her Badge if it is the expressed wish of her family. Otherwise, the Badge should be returned to National Headquarters.
That's why I always thought that if Delta Zeta chose to present a legal challenge to someone who is trying to sell a DZ Badge on eBay, they would have grounds to do so. Because the person doing the selling can't possibly be the legal owner because the legal owner is the sorority. It would be interesting to see what would happen, but I guess no sorority really has the money to jump into a legal battle and the collectors probably know that.
