How can a nonGreek or another sorority be representing your organization, but at the same time you don't assume they are a member just because they are wearing your symbols? If they aren't a member, how can nonmembers be charged with representing YOUR symbols in a respectful manner? That isn't their responsibility. If you want to monitor how members wear the letters, do so. It doesn't make sense to say anyone can wear letters just because your organization hasn't learned how to monitor how its own members wear the letters.
As I stated in the other thread, it is not about the tshirt. It is about the symbols on the tshirt. In the end, there is a good reason why viewpoints such as yours are uncommon, at least among BGLO/MGLO/LGLO members.

And that's one reason why I'm not in a BGLO/MGLO/LGLO. Granted, opinions like mine are not the norm among NPC/NIC Greeks either, but they are more common. NPC and NIC Greeks often create party shirts with both groups' letters on them. NIC fraternity members sometimes allow their girlfriends to wear their letters. Although it's not usually kosher with the sorority HQs, many girls pass sorority shirts on to their guy friends too. And all but a handful of NPC sororities allow pledges to wear letters.
You say that it's not about the tee shirt, it's about the letters on the shirt, which I totally agree with. But my letters don't lose any of their "power" by being associated with non-members.
