Soror, burgundy is a shade of RED and magenta is a shade of pink so there is the difference.

I have to respectfully disagree - blue is blue, regardless of the fabric and burgundy is burgundy, not crimson nor red. Shades of magenta and pink are also "close" to red.
My point simply was that it's not always a clear, black and white issue to the point where it could be called "definitely out of protocol." They are both poor choices and when it comes to protocol, there is a vast area of gray that gets interpreted differently by different people. I don't think any of us disagree when it comes to the color of the symbols, but it's the garments on which folks choose to put the letters that is the issue. I've seen grey/black/white camoglouge outfits with the letters on them and I've also seen a regular, heather greay sweatshirt with red symbols applied. The sweats didn't bother me, but the camo's did!! Some wouldn't draw a distinction between the two. The other point is the manner in which someone chooses to let someone know their attire may be inappropriate - I'd be more disgusted with the soror that felt the need to "snatch" something off of someone's body than the soror that had red letters on a blue pullover - but that's a whole different issue altogether that I'll just leave alone because I'll be typing until Saturday!!

I believe that denim is just that, a FABRIC, just like leather and suede and cotton, etc. Denim or jean fabric is normally blue even though it can come in other colors. I consider normal blue or even stone washed as a neutral background while orange or indigo is completely different.
I think that we can all can agree on a guideline that 'neutral' anchoring colors of fabric is within protocol. If denim (read 'normal blue denim or jean') is specifically against protocol, then I believe it needs to be stated.
It is up to us as members to only buy 'nalia that is in good taste and does not specifically conflict with our organizations guidelines.
