There is no free advertisement. Somebody paid for the shirts.
And everything that's free isn't good because if you think about it, a hazing trial and/or lawsuit is also free advertising.
But back to the point, maybe NPC and NPHC sororities are different in this area. As an NPHC sorority woman, it's irksome to have someone get their letters and never be seen at a chapter meeting handling sorority business, but you will see her at every step show or picnic. Being Greek is fun, but there's business to take care of. So, for me, my sorority is a sisterhood that I value and cherish, and we hope to instill this in members. We also hope to instill that the sorority is
not a status symbol to sport across a t-shirt when it's convenient and "cute". I'm asking a real question when I ask if circumstances are that different for NPC sororities. Seriously.
Maybe there's much more to this than I or DSTCHAOS are willing to put out there, but being an inactive alumnae soror is not so "cute" as the years roll by.
