We had a similar situation in my house. A girl depledged, but her roommate had also pledged Alpha Phi. Her roommate said that the girl who depledged still wore the backpack, the shirts, kept all the stuff she was given by her Big Sis, and etc. She hadn't yet been initiated when she depledged (Thank Goodness) but was still getting stuff from the house. Anyway, she wore her backpack all around with our letters, as well as t-shirts. A couple of us mentioned it to each other, but never really did anything, as the topic just sort of got dropped. But reading the post above, I think that if we see this girl wearing stuff around we'll approach her about it. One doesn't have any right to present themselves as being a part of a sisterhood, if they aren't contributing to it. Furthermore, we are a very reputable house, and the girl who was her roommate said she turned out to be kind of weird. (BTW, also proving the above point that sometimes, not often, but every once in a while girls can completely change after they've been given a bid, no matter what house they pledge) But anyway, we don't want any girl pretending to be a Popular Phi if she doesn't respect the sisterhood and good standing our house has. We'll definitely appraoch her kindly about the situation, if she continues to wear letters.
