Not all people "illegally" wearing our letters are perps. Some honestly don't know better. They are handled one way. The ones who actually claim to be members of the organization are the perps, and you don't have to be wearing letters to perp. They are dealt with in another. As for this dropping thing, it still boils down to wearing letters that are not yours, regardless of if they're on a pin, hanging from a chain or on a shirt and regardless if they were "given" to you by some dude who thinks he loves you. If he loved you that much, he's buy an engagement ring or some other piece of jewlery to signify that love. The only reason anyone should be wearing letters is if they were duly initiated into the organization that uses them.
As far as this post causing further division, I disagree. The ORIGINAL message is a valid one for the minority community. True, it could have been handled a little differently, but the message is there and I'm sure it's been received loud and clear.
