Pari...
Well....weren't they selling those shirts with such saying on there a couple of years back....I remember seing something like that back in the early 90's for all organization. I don't think the shirt was in all red.....I think the shirts were white with multicolor lettering with the statement. I don't see any big problem with it if the shield or ivy leaf is not on it.......I WOULDN'T WEAR it, but hey...that's me.
I know when I crossed...as a chapter(AKA -- Beta Upsilon) we suggested that you don't wear shirts/jackets outside our colors pink and green...even though vendors sell our shirts in khaki, black, hot pink, blue jean and etc. For some reason, that has stuck with me. I do wear white shirts though -- but not Khaki, black or blue jean or etc.
Well...another thing I'm starting to see is line jackets with other orgs on it. For instance, in TN (college crib to be exact). I saw a Delta jacket that had in the back 'Didn't want to be....(all different sorority names on it with them scratched out in the orgs. colors)." I also saw a Soror (AKA) in New Orleans that had on the back of it "They want to be just like me....(and then had all the other orgs. listed and scratched out in the orgs. colors)". I shook my head at both.... I wouldn't want anybody else's org. on my jacket.....
I understand it was disturbing to see such a shirt at your convention...why would someone want to wear something like that to a Delta event....
And you are right...older Sorors can be out of pocket sometimes....
