Gamma Zeta Charter on Ebay

[lenoxxx]

Brothers,


http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1074880631

That link contains a listing of the gamma zeta charter from UM Amherst. While Im not sure of it's authenticity, Im a bit troubled to why a charter is being sold there. Pins and such may be personal items which could be sold, but large scale marked fraternity property would be considered stolen property in my book.

Is there a way to contact the Gamma chapter to have them be aware of this?

Hi there Jason -

Thanks for your email...

I had originally offered to sell the piece to your U Mass chapter months
ago. They ultimately were not interested. Maybe they will bid on the piece
after all, it is at a lower price here.

Thanks & have a good day!

sorry to butt in, but what a $%(*&#$(% of a lady to sell a fraternity charter on ebay. UGH!! People cease to amaze me.

I sent an email to a guy at Gamma Zeta, but got no reply. Honestly, I don't see how this person can legally sell their charter. Perhaps someone got it when they went dormant. I noticed that they were dormant from 76-80. Hopefully there is some way IHQ can get it back. I don't see why the chapter wouldn't want it back at any cost, even though they shouldn't have to pay a dime for it!

Our Charter got "swiped" in 1997- we found it at a junk store along with two composites- and threatened to bring the state police in, needless to say we got it for no charge!

Hi Guys,
This is my first post to this group, so hello. I have written to U-Mass advising them of the auction, and gotten a reply including another e-mail fromJason at Beta.
They have been negotiating with "Miss Manda" for some months now, but didn't pay the $200-$300 that was asked. This person has all manner of stuff from Warren Cole's estate and portions it out on ebay a little at a time. It's a lousy way to make a buck, if you ask me.

[JonoBN41]

So now the charter is on the block for $75 and I hope nobody bids, except the U-Mass guys. I have posted it on our alumni server and am writing here. I wrote to some perennial ebayers such as muranoconnection99 and anncr and they both have agreed to keep hands off.

I noticed the date on that charter too. It's exactly 30 years before ours. This May, they'll be celebrating their 60th anniversary, and us, our 30th.

All I can do is hope they get that copy (there's more than one) back in time and don't have to pay alot for it.

PS - I must have hit a key that sent the first half of this message before I was done. Sorry.

Why does Miss Manda have Warren Albert Coles estate?

How is Gamma Zeta Charter only 60 years old they are our second chapter from like 1911 or so?

And on a good note- welcome Jono to our e-group- always good to see a new poster.

If that was my charter- Id take the state police to Miss Manda's House.

Anyway

Lenoxx,

Thanks for setting my math straight. I should have said we're 30, and they are 60 more. Our 30th, their 90th! Sorry, all these 30's 60's, 9's and 6's have got me a little dizzy.

Guys, im seeing these posts on not bidding for the charter, and I can see your point. But I would think bidding on it would be smart, at least then we know the charter will be going into safe hands rather then someone who isnt even a member, but that could be my opinion. Just throwing out an idea.

[The1calledTKE]

I hope you guys get that charter back. I think the likelyhood is good because who else would want a LXA charter other than an LXA? I wouldn't want some other fraternties charter and doubt any one would want mine.
