Unless you're Macallan. Then you get threatened with a knife. And then cut. Damn SAE perps. Always with the knifing and the drinking.

If you read some of the earlier responses, asking them nicely and then offering to replace what they're being asked to give up can actually work.
And again, these aren't just all homeless people who can't afford clothes. Non-members who wear letters can be regular people who are just clueless about what they mean and got them (who knows how... ) because they thought it looked neat. In that case, trying to explain everything to them is not a bad idea. And as shadowyi said, sometimes they could also just be jerks who are trying give your organization a bad name
