Amazing! Simply Amazing?:o

You do not wear certain types of Letters representing YOUR GLOs?:o :(

WHY? You are not proud enough?

You will be happier wearing Symbols or Logos of shoes, beer, clothing stores?:rolleyes:

We as GLOs Advertise OUR GLOs or not!:rolleyes:

If you are not proud enough then why even join?

As an Alumni, I try and wear mine as much as possible, how about You?

But it is when you get your GLO embroidered with the school under it on the jacket. EVERYONE has one of these jackets here at UF. They're from Charles River, though, not Columbia or North Face. (and they are navy and have a huge orange stripe)

Here the sororities are letter CRAZY!!!! EVERY and litterally every girl gets a tote bag on bid day with block letters (usually) and most girls get block tshirts on bid day. There are lettered hats, umbrellas, pants, flip flops, drink thurmoses, lavaliers, pen, stationary, bracelets and rain coats and even tshirts. It's crazy. (Not in a bad way). There are tons of car decals and people have decorated their windows in the dorms. As for double lettering, that happens alllllll the time. Today was wear your letters day for some sororities, and I saw a girl with a lettered hat, tote bag, shirt, umbrella, and flip flops (I know in the rain, but it was pretty warm today). And most girls have a hoodie too. As for the guys, they mostly have party shirts and a hoodie.

I'd probably say that letter-wearing here is pretty average...you see it from some groups way more than you see it from others. I know that most if not all of the girls in my chapter wear letters like it's our jobs, most of us have lots of different letter and chapter shirts (by chapter shirts I mean shirts that say "Sigma Psi" written out instead of the letters, we have these because members aren't allowed to wear letters until they're initiated. And because at philanthropy and parties where we give other people shirts, we don't put actual letters on the shirts because non-members can't wear them)...I'd say most people in my chapter wear letters...at least one or two days a week, not counting lavaliers and letters on bags...other chapters I see lots of some chapters' letters, and none of others.

Tom, if you need a shirt with letters on them to prove that you are proud of your fraternity.......you aren't doing something right. Frankly, I find that pathetic

Hahahahhahahhahahahhaha......That is truly sad. I'm sorry.....but there comes a time when wearing letters becomes unacceptable and pretty douchebaggish. No one gives a shit, especially in the business world, if you were in a fraternity or not. Wearing your fraternity's letters after you graduate makes you look like a complete loser that hasn't let go of the fact that he isn't in college anymore. The only thing, as far as i'm concerned, that is acceptable to show from your fraternity when you are older is your initiation certificate in a nice frame. My father has his in his office on the wall along with his UT graduation and Law school graduation certificates.

I don't show off my letters hardly every......because I think that is what it makes you come off like. Trying to show off. "Hey everyone, look at me, i'm an SAE." Why make it a point to let everyone know what fraternity you are in? If you are doing it right, people should already know who you are. I'll sport date party pocket Ts and sorority function shirts to class or around the house, but thats about it. Also, you're in college, time to start dressing appropriately......

That is not frat.....at all.

frat? What do you mean? Only sorority girls have them.

Frat applies to sorority girls aswell, when using it as terms of dress.

According to...?

If you did not know that, you obviously do not dress fratty. I think fratty.net had a great definition, although I believe it's down now.

If you don't know the meaning of "frat" there is no point in explaining it to you. Being "fratty" is a lifestyle....."frat" can be used to describe actions, events, decisions..basically anything that occurs during the course of one's day.

Girls can absolutely be fratty. I thought you meant that the guys got their jackets/fleeces embroidered too......which is not frat and GDI-ish. If it is just the girls that have the embroidery......thats fine. It is perfectly acceptable for girls to have letters on everything they own.

I'll agree with you there. You aren't from Highland Park are you?? Over OU/TX weekend the Spurs had Bevo out in front of my Aunt and Uncle's house in HP for a block party. It was quite a good time.

I wasn't out there, I'm sure I was in the same place you were, partying in a hotel somewhere. I forget the price, but anyone can get Bevo out to an event. Without UT’s help, we have to fund him somehow :) It must have been a hell of a party though if they had the thousands to drop for him alone.


Edit**, I suppose you were not there.

Block letters certainly aren't tacky up here. I need more hoodies come to that. Or to move to a place that won't require sweatshirts.
I also love my bid day shirts, but only because they've given me t-shirts to wear the gym and to bed. Joining a sorority means they'll practically dress you for free.
