Agreed - and also on how they're wearing them. Lavalieres? Embroidered polos? Party tees? Hoodies? Is it a Greek Life office? :p

When to wear
 

It is a professional establishment, we are allowed to wear jeans on fridays just to give you an idea. We work with the community and sometimes they don't know any better and think that greek organizations are like "animal house", so it sends a negative message.

WHEN TO WEAR
 

POLOS, T-SHIRTS, JACKETS, HATS, CAPS, SOMETIMES DOUBLE LETTERS OR COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN THE GEAR.












AKA

IT IS NOT A GREEK LIFE OFFICE.

I just graduated and I of course continue to wear my Tri Delta letters and t-shirts. I have lots of little items like keychain, headband, bracelets, necklaces that I like to wear around.

If their dress is inappropriate HR would likely have the first say. If your coworkers are representing themselves professionally in the community and HR doesn't have a problem with what they are wearing I would let it go. Many people have negative opinions for all kinds of stereotypes, I'm not sure it's a good idea to go down the path of trying to anticipate all of them. For example, I might encounter a man who thinks a woman has no place in the work force. Perhaps I should stay at home lest it send a negative message about my employer. :rolleyes:

Are you worried about your company or about yourself?

WHEN TO WEAR
 

LOL @ respectfully Greek.

If wearing letters head to toe is "in disrecpect" of the office dress code, then I think you've answered your own question. Unless you work in HR, I think you should probably just worry about what you're wearing -- let them handle it.

FYI

LOVE my new AXO flip flops....wear my silver engraved bracelet lots and lots....in the dead of winter, wear my sweatshirt with Vera Bradley fabric letters with my sweats to the Y.....this from an O-L-D alum---class of '82! Oh, and I have my letters and crest in my car's back window....me on the driver side, my husband's letters and crest on the right - a little emblem for my oldest tucked in there, too! That's why I'm...

I'm still a sister!

GreekAlphaSoup. What fraternity exactly is your husband?

I'm thinking Pike . . .

It was Pike. The greek system at my school is really small, so I wasn't aware of their colors. And it happens that Garnet and Gold are also Psi u's colors. Now I will be leaving this thread to the alumni.

Brotherhood is forever

As is sisterhood(i'm assuming? can't speak for that?)

but...of course its fine for you to wear your letters

you worked for those letters......

you have the right to wear them

I still have my letters on the back of my car windshield, and I often wear my comfy windbreaker/jacket/sweatshirt which has my letters on it to the movie theater.
