Yes you did. This was back in your SH80 days (under two totally different usernames). I remember John letting us know that the two posts came from your same IP address. I'm sure the mods from long ago remember!

It's pretty ballsy to say that because he's Greek he's associated with underage drinking...

...and then, yeah, sell cancer. It may be legal, but it doesn't make it right and I wouldn't by that holier-than-thou attitude from the shop owner either. We all know LOTS of kids smoke underage, too, and even when it's legal it's still just as bad for you as alcohol.

And that's coming from a smoker.

This really is the most horrible thing I have ever heard. It makes me so upset when people of religious organizations, of all people, judge others. Not that it's acceptable for anyone to judge anyone else, but my pet peeve is hypocritical religious people.

It's not a big thing, but in terms of discrimination...

I'm a student tour guide at my University. When families leave their info session, they're asked to divide themselves evenly amongst the 4 or 5 tour guides waiting outside. I've been doing this a few years, and without fail I get a MUCH smaller tour group when I wear my letters - usually about 1/2 the size of those of the other guides. It kind of ticks me off, because wouldn't you want to take a tour with someone who's obviously involved in student life? I think a lot of parents assume I don't take my academics seriously or am just here to party, Animal House-style. That's honestly not the case with me, but stereotypes are stereotypes.

Funny thing is, about 75% of the student tour guides are Greek (from a student body that's only about 20% Greek). A lot of us just don't wear our letters. So whichever guide they end up with, they probably still got a Greek! :D

I was a student tour guide. We were advised not to wear letters during tours because some prospective students and their families were uninformed about greek life. We were called "Ambassadors" and wore shirts & jackets bearing that name in school colors when we gave tours.

We're actually told to look as much like "regular students" as possible, and wearing shirts and things from our extracurriculars is encouraged because it shows that we're involved (and that we don't just study all the time, which is one of the myths our Admissions office fights a lot). Of course we're required to look presentable - no gym clothes, torn/stained clothing, etc. - but they don't want us to dress up. I guess it's to give the visitors the real student experience.

We wear uniform polos four tours...

Anyway I've noticed that when I mention my extracurriculars during my introduction people tune out if I mention greek life first so I mention it last so they hear about all of the other stuff I do on campus and don't miss out on the more "conventionally worthwhile" (I hope that doesn't come off the wrong way) things I do. I am, however, the biggest greek life cheerleader on tours so I think I change their minds by the end.

You could be talking about my alma mater with the ratios. When I was a tour guide, though, we weren't permitted to wear t-shirts. Most of us did wear either our pins or lavaliers, though. It was a lot of fun when a parent would ask about it!
