To clarify: the Phi Sig letters that the boys are wearing are sewn-letter shirts, the kind you are finally allowed to wear at initiation, not party shirts or formal favors. And they are not wearing them to be cute, or show their friendship- they're doing it because they are JERKS and they think it's funny to disrespect a chapter like that. The disaffiliated women were asked to return all Phi Sig paraphanelia, especially letters, to the chapter when they disaffiliated. They said that there were no letters to return, and then gave them to the Sammies because the chapter meant nothing to them anymore. The guys are known to be complete wretched jack*sses and think that the whole thing is one big middle finger to greek life since they've lost their charter.
One of my sisters approached one of the guys and asked what they were doing, and he sneered at her and told her not to be such a bitch, he had Alpha Chi letters too and would wear those if he wanted. JERK.
The Phi Sigs are understandably pissed off and went to the Greek Life director, who is making calls to both Phi Sig and Sammy nationals- even though Sammy isn't formally recognized, their nationals may have something to say about (newly) formaer brothers participating in such activities. Hopefully some good will come out of that... I was under the impression that one could have legal action taken against them for revealing the secrets of a fraternity- and I would hazard a guess that giving away letters may fall under that category, if so desired. What are your nationals' policies?
