Then I’d guess you are a Pi Phi. That’s one of very few groups who do this.

Nope. From what you've said up until now I would have assumed you knew a lot about Greek life. But one look at my scren name should tell you what group I'm in.

But you’ve got to PROVE the stereo was stolen. Hard to do when I’ve got the receipt that says I paid for it.

It's not at all difficult to prove a stereo is stolen! Electronics, like many expensive items, have unique serial numbers. If the other kept his/her warranty information, that's that. Of course, I will admit that this is dependent on the thief not filing it off. And I don't mean to suggest the purchaser is punished; they ought to be compensated for their money, which doesn't necessarily happen.
I did say, and I do believe, that there is something wrong in collecting other's pins. Nevertheless, I don't think this should be an ad hominem argument. You probably could care less if I like you personally, and it doesn't change the validity of anyone's arguments.
I think Greeks have been "spinning their wheels" on this because it has only recently become a big issue. Until eBay and the WWW came along, collecting was more difficult. And only now are Greeks really aware of how many of their badges are out there. That's why they are requiring members to sign that the badge is not their property, printing awareness-raising articles in their magazines, and the like. Greeks have a lot of issues facing them and for a fraternity fighting to keep its insurance it may not be the most important one. But there are a lot of Greeks out there, and I believe that they will get somewhere eventually.
