Should the rule be so simple? I'm hesitant to even suggest this to some collegians, but use your good judgment.

Come on, it's not so simple to distinguish between these two scenarios:

1) You want to go to a party where you intend to do kegstands, take part in obscene chants and drinking games, etc. This would not be the best time to wear letters, a pin, etc.

versus

2) You're at a formal dining event for your chapter, area chapter, or whatever. There you want to have a glass of wine with your steak... or maybe a scotch and soda or something to that effect. In this situation so long as you can drink responsibly, I don't really see a problem with making your affiliation known.

Sometimes, I think it'd be a lot easier if we were to just replace our respective risk management policies with one all-encompassing statement: "Don't be a dumbass."
