I would second the vote to contact your HQ. I know that orders for Alpha Gamma Delta badges are all coordinated through our IHQ (even when purchasing from an authorized supplier - the order still goes through them).
I've heard of some HQs having refurbished badges on sale (presumably those that were returned to the HQ after the passing and/or de-affiliating of a member).
The problem I have with the eBay route is that the more these get purchased, the more incentive people have to list them if they inappropriately get their hands on a badge. Though at least in your case, it would be a Theta actually purchasing a Theta badge, which is better than it falling into the wrong hands and/or being purchased by someone who wouldn't respect it.
