Please don't use our name...
As a conservative (and sometimes I feel like the only one left), I would not feel comfortable wearing a "Phi Mu supports McCain" shirt or something along those lines. I don't feel I should place my GLO's letters along "supports ___" because, although I may support it-I have many sisters who do not.
I remember this was an issue when I was an undergrad. We had a shirt that said something along the lines of "We support the LGBT community" or "Gay Penn State" or something. On the back it listed all the organizations that supported the shirt. My GLO (as well as the GLO of EVERY organization, pretty much) was on the shirt. Don't get me wrong-I have no issues supporting the gay community but, sometimes they are very IN YOUR FACE about things that make me uncomfortable. They wave flags at homecoming that say "We Are...Gay Penn State" or have kissing contests on the stairs of Old Main. I don't care if you are gay or straight...I don't need to see you making out on a park bench...There is a time and place for everything (gay or straight). I did not appreciate my group supporting certain organizations without an actual vote being done.
