I will say this, maybe its different for black greeks. But it is safe to say that we do not allow anyone who is not an ACTIVE member of the organization to wear the letters. I mean you can always break the rules. You could wear them only at home, or something like that. But it is considered disrespctful to wear letters you havent
"EARNED". I mean maybe you being her grand-daughter you might give you "legacy" privileges, but I know her boyfriend shouldnt be wearing her letters. I also know many organizations dont even allow people who arent members to even touch their letters.

I have a somewhat related question...say your grandmother was a sorority member, and she died, and you knew how much her lavaliere meant to her, and you wanted to wear it in her memory even though you aren't a sorority member yourself. Would that be OK, or taboo? Or would you have to get permission from national? Just curious, since no one in my family is a sorority member, and I don't know the rules.
