Anything that you do while wearing your letters will give an impression to the people who are around you. Just as if I were to cut someone off on the highway, and I have a big KKG sticker on the back of my car- that person tends to associate my sorority with the fact that someone in that organization cut them off while driving...as stupid as this sounds, the same goes for if you are drinking, that just really gives people a bad impression sometimes. We struggle with this, especially with teaching our pledges or "new members" not to do it. So in effect, just be careful about the impressions you give people while wearing your letters. You never know when rushees are around.
