But I could have been anybody. Those badges, until I gave them away, were also legally mine.

We've had some issues with non-members buying badges direct and then selling then on eBay. Our HQ worked with Burr Patt to ensure this does not happen any more. There are very strict guidelines they have to follow before they will let anyone order our badge and the info has to be checked and verified with our HQ before the order is final.
ETA: They're more likely to work and side with us on this matter because if they didn't it would mean losing an entire fraternity account (hundreds of thousands of $$) over a $75 badge.
