IMO...fundamental hypocrisy. It makes us look like we think we are better than everyone else. That's what turns people off the most about Greeks...the snobbism aspect. Not drinking or hazing.
I know at small schools, everyone knows what group you are in whether you're in letters or not. So if you get drunk and act like an ass, no one is going to say "well, 33 wasn't wearing letters, so I guess that means Greek life is wonderful." The reason people stopped wearing letters to bars in Clarion was not a "moral" or "values" issue, but primarily due to an administration and town that hated Greeks (regardless of what they did) and started targeting people who had letters on. (Greek profiling, if you will) Meanwhile there could be a GDI 3 feet away puking his guts out with a needle broken off in his arm and the cops would walk past him.
If you would be ashamed to do something IN letters, you shouldn't do it OUT of letters either. Period.
