Geez -- I am really somewhat surprised at some of these responses. I do not want anyone wearing AXO letters who is not a sister. Event tees are different since they aren't "letters" -- by letters I mean the really nice double stitched kind you buy (not an event tee that says AXO and TKE).
Granted, the homeless thing is another issue -- especially since I know from working with the Salvation Army that people do end up with letters. They really need clothes to wear and I'm not going to make anything of it if I were to ever see it.
As far as the high school thing goes...nuh uh! No way -- I don't care if every woman in your family since 1885 was an Alpha Chi....until you get that bid and you are accepted as a new member, then keep your hands off!
Our nationals also reserve the crest and badge to initiated members only....HOWEVER...I know most of our new member classes at the chapter I advise decide for themselves not to wear letters until they are initiated. I think it means so much more to them.
