I am a Kappa Sig. It is no secret that our national fraternity has its roots in a spiritual background (specifically Christianity).
There was a thread sometime back in which greeks were unhappy about their jewelry (particuarly membership badges) being sold on ebay. Is anyone besides me disturbed by some of the really lewd t-shirts that are sold there? I run a check from time to time on "Kappa Sigma" to see what is selling on ebay, and I would be ashamed to tell you what some of the Kappa Sig pledge and party shirts say on them. This sort of thing is completely against the spirit of our founders, I know that. I would NEVER wear a shirt like some of those I've seen...and I wouldn't allow a son of mine to pledge a chapter where the guys had so little self-respect that they would wear them.
What do you think? I'd particuarly like to hear from some Kappa Sigs about this. "The star and cresent shall not be worn by any man," right? Our creed says we are to be gentlemen and men of God. Do we still believe this, or is it time to change the creed? Is it time to put a new character education program in place?

I'd just like to say SECOND - for fraternity AND sorority shirts. I was raised to know that no matter what, I am always representing something to someone, even if it isn't always apparent to me that I am, and that I have to always be aware of that fact. You stand for something whether you want to or not, and so you have to be conscious of what you're choosing to stand for. Sometimes I don't think people think about that.
