I just heard from one of my sisters (as I was upset to hear about the sales on Ebay) that ours are being bought by alumni. I think that it's great that our alumni would care enough to get them back. You all have very good points. You can't really get upset at someone selling them for their benefit. If they know what they mean, then they have the opportunity to return them to National HQ. If they don't, then why would they keep them? However, since you know what they mean, and you know how important they are, why don't you buy them. That way, the seller is getting what they want and you get what you want. Sure, you're out twenty bucks or whatever for a pin for your sorority...but you're DOING something about it just the same. That's my input. And it's not about some nasty stuff.
