Search for the Lost Fraternity Charter

I am hoping you can help me out.  I am trying to locate the Fraternity Lost Charter.  In 1976 after the Break with Pike, the Brothers held a re-founding ceremony and signed a charter reestablishing the Fraternity at Wright State.  I know the Charter was lost sometime prior to 1988 from talking to the active chapter.  I also know it was made by Lou Bernard.

•   Does anyone know where the charter is today?

•   If you do not know the current location can you help with a chain of custody?  Basically, can you tell me who had it in the past and when they may have had it?

•   What was the importance of the charter to the chapter?  How was it used (i.e. Rush Ritual)?  How was it important to the chapter reestablishing their identity as Barflies?
