AGD Badge on eBay

Hi again ladies,

Mai Ly was so kind and gracious to bring the Badge w/ the Honors of Epsilon Pi attached to our Senior Farewell tonight. I've only seen the Arc and Arc with Diamond up close, so it was a real treat to be able to see the Arc with Diamonds and Pearl!

The back of the badge was even more of a treat. There was so much history to it...and I can't believe that it was sold to a non-AGD!

That's why I'm thankful to have wonderful sisters like my Chapter Advisor! Mai Ly to the rescue!

This is a really old thread, but I thought I'd share an email I received earlier this month regarding this badge:

Subject: Mai Ly?

Hello,

Are you Mai Ly? A few years ago, did you "rescue" an AGD badge from eBay? One that had "Hilda Ragan, 1930?" inscribed on the back?

Hilda was my mother. She was born in 1908, and she died in 1989, in Bloomington, Illinois, where Illinois Wesleyan University is located. She was a proud graduate.

My brother and his wife settled her estate, and the badge must have been part of it. My mother was a loyal Alpha Gam throughout her life. Even as an elderly lady, she went to sorority functions all the time.

I'm very grateful to you for "rescuing" her badge. I came across the Internet site that mentioned what you did just today, by accident.

Thanks very much. It brought a tear to my eye. You too must be a loyal sorority sister.

Wow, Mai Ly. That is just the icing on the cake. You must have felt so great after reading that email!

Cool!!

There is a Nu Chapter Founder's badge on ebay. I saw it last night. The starting bid was pretty high although no one had actually bid on it yet, lol

I saw that too - it was still listed within the past few weeks, so I'm guessing they aren't getting what they wanted for it.

It disturbed me to see the way they were promoting that it was a "chapter founder" badge, etc. (In addition to just bothering me for the sake of a badge being on eBay period.)
