aww gee, thanks much appreciated!

brooklineu -

I doubt that it would be proper to wear anything from a sorority of which you were not a member. T-shirts, jewelry, but lavalieres and pins especially. There is a lot of special meaning behind the symbols, jewelery, and paraphrenalia of every greek letter group.

Whenever I see anyone wearing my letters (T-shirt, pins, lavalieres), I almost always go up and introduce myself. If it turned out that she wasn't actually an Alpha Xi Delta, it would upset me, because there is NO WAY that she could ever appreciate what the letters meant.

BTW, that's why it's such a big big big deal to give your boyfriend/girlfriend your letters - you are putting them on equal status with your letters, your sorority/fraternity to which you have made a life long committment.

love and hugs all around,

G8Ralphaxi
