I agree. I always wanted something that was discreet enough that I wasn't shouting about my sorority, but something other greeks would still recognize and potentially ask me about. We've been down the "professional use of your greek affiliation" path several times, and I don't want to go down it again, but for me, personally, in my particular industry, I wouldn't advertise to everyone and sundry that I was wearing sorority jewelry/scarves/whatever. Like, a lot of NPHC groups have stuff in their colors with the founding year.
