wow, you think your colors are nasty?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Pledges wearing letters
 

She would look like CHRISTMAS if she wore them together. I don't think my colors look particularily cute on sweatshirts either, which is why most of my letters are pink rather than brown and brown. :p

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Pledges wearing letters
 

yes.

I didnt choose my sorority because of the colors, I chose it because of the sisters....

if that makes you think I'm a bad sister, then you need to get your priorities straight...

Edited because I'm horrible with grammar :D

whoa, slow your roll. didn't say nothing about you being a bad sister..just never heard that before. hey, do your thing.

sorry for being on the defense... i just dont think colors are important.... but thats me.

i'm thinking that the difference in wearing the colors is that (once again, this is a guess) for many NPC groups their colors, for the most part, don't have a super significant meaning/ritualistic meaning. Some groups, if there is a meaning behind the color, it is public information.

That might be part of the difference in views here......

One thing I have noticed that differentiates the NPHC groups from the NPC/IFC groups when it comes to clothing is this wearing of these:

I've always thought they were very creative!

I was told by someone (NOT a Delta Sig) to NOT buy a jacket like that because I'd look too much "like one of those cultural greeks".

I'm still buying one.

Hell, I get siht cause I had my pledge class embroidered on the sleeve, my last name on the hood, and my nickname on the back

Well, they are certainly noticeable. And they appear to be very expensive from what I've seen. I've always thought of them as being half written in secret code. but certainly fun!

i wasnt thinking that maybe the colors had significance.. i mean, I know the reason why our colors are red and green, and I suppose its somewhat important, but I just dont care for them. In fact, our chapter dislikes them so much that we changed it into Rutgers colors-- the new bid day shirts are these in t-shirts:

just having fun with greek101.com letter generator, haha.

*edited because im not used to this vB code thing*

Actually, they're cheaper around here.

What does all the embroidery/symbols mean (well, unless secret!)

My sorority has jackets like that. They are hot. Our colors are turquoise and black. We crossed in the Spring so we got White jackets with turquoise letter with a Black border. I got my big sister name, my number and my lines' name on the back. On my sleeve I got the semester I crossed.

Yay to jackets! I have one that's all in our colors, and another that's gray w/ all of the embroidery [sp????? it's late ;)] in blue and gold.


Booooooooo to letters on the butt. :( People will be trying to read the letters when you're wearing them, and I don't want to bring that much attention to my nether regions in public.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Pledges wearing letters
 

Yes, but one is female and one is male. I pointed that out. :)

I've got a crest sweatshirt that is pink, and no one ever said "oh you are trying to be like DZ or Phi Mu." I simply liked the way it looked on pink.

My point was that no, I don't think colors are as important to the NPC groups, because there are just plain more of them so the same colors get used over & over, and because the meaning usually isn't secret.
