We raised the money to fund our Eagleween (Halloween) event. We will set up a mini fall carnival and pass out candy on Monday to the three elementary school students that feed into our school from 5:30-7:30. This will allow the kids to trick or treat in a safe area (the neighborhood has a lot of violence). The k-5th graders must be accompanied by a parent.

We never get to wear p's here. I carry a Tau Beta Sigma tote bag, and my desk is decorated with turtles (notepads, a greeting card, turtle-shaped sticky notes).

I bought Mama Jitterbug a Delta principal polo shirt last year. She wears it to work sometimes, mostly when the kids aren't around.

I have a Zeta doll on my desk, and wear my tan windbreaker at times. On casual Fridays, I've worn my Zeta sweat suit (the nylon workout kind) and Zeta polo shirt. The workers know I'm a Zeta, the clients could care less. :rolleyes:

But I love the idea of wear your org day!!

My workplace is casual. I do on occasion wear a t-shirt and jeans, or if its cold (and it always is even during summer) I wear my jacket. On business casual days I dress up in my colors and put on a Sigma pin. I also have a Sigma messenger bag that I carry often and a keychain.

I teach high school, so we have a causual dress code for the most part. I wore my jacket today, I will do that but not a t-shirt because we can't.

I have 2 messenger bags that I utilize often. One is the black excecut-eevo style and the other is the royal blue bag that was given to attendees of the Miami boule. If I feel the situation is in appropriate for the SGRho logos, I flip them around. (anti-greek campus)

At my firm, there are a few greekies but I'm the only one "out"

It's amazing to read some of the responses here, especially at public schools. I guess I have it good cause I wear paraphernalia all the time and never really think about it. At my school, there are about 4 AKA's and I think at least 3 Deltas. As usual, I am the only SGRho so I gotta repRHOsent!! ;) My principal is a Kappa.

I have a key chain around my neck or somewhere on me EVERYDAY! I have a lunch box, a bag full of books, an umbrella on these many rainy days lately and on staff development days I usually wear a t-shirt. I never realized until posting this how much stuff I wear. :)

I've worn my jacket to the gig, but not unnecessarily. It was either raining or kool out. Only when it's not enough for a leather jacket!I've worn my jacket to the gig, but not unnecessarily.

:confused: Was that intentional ^^^^^?



On another note - I've worn one of my AKA shirts on the weekend when I was working "free" OT (former job). I've also seen others wear 'nalia to work (it's casual dress there). And when we were just having fun in meetings, I remember seeing this guy go down the soul train line - stepping and throwing up his sign (you know only a select few knew what was going on - but it was definately too cool/ cute!).

i work as a teacher and a recreational counselor and i moonlight as a photographer.


at my job, on the weekends i will bring out the old faithful T-shirt that i have had for years and the fittted ball cap.

at my old job, i had a plaque on my desk.

The only 'nalia I've worn to work was a T-shirt. I don't think I would wear my jacket to work though. That's about it. :)

I wore my line jacket to work today. My job is basically a student environment, we have a very relaxed dress code. I'll wear para maybe twice a week (maybe like a tote bag or a lavalier) to work..

nikki1920 10-28-2005 11:55 AM

I'm wearing my jacket and a pin today.

Lady of Pearl 10-30-2005 08:48 PM

On casual fridays I may wear a necklace (sometimes the kids want to know the meaning of it ) and or colors but not paraphernalia, and of course my desk has notepads -and a co-worker was the first to comment about that- and I carry my tote bag every day!
