Within NPHC culture(and rules for some orgs), NO ONE WEARS ANOTHER ORGANIZATIONS LETTERS!!! That is unheard off!! 
Not even an Omega Psi Phi's wife/sweetheart would wear the letters of her significant other. That is why I do not believe that story about the two orgs "exchanging jerseys".......

Okay, you may not believe it, however I know that everyone can say that campus culture varies from place to place. I'm sure that the most often line in all of GC is "It varies from chapter to chapter". I can think of a hundred different things that another chapter of Beta does that we don't do in my chapter. It could range from drinking in the chapter house to having a sleeping dorm, to something as miniscule as calling it a pledge sneak vs pledge skip.
My point is that unless you are a member of that chapter, or have specifically visted that chapter within the last year you can't for certain tell me that exchanging jerseys is an absolute impossibility. The way I found out about the exchanging of jerseys was through the minutes of one of the commitee's at Beta's 163rd Annual Convention this past summer. Unlike many org's Beta Theta Pi is run by the undergraduates and all final say must be given by the delegates at the annual convention. Given that set of circumstances and knowing that this the word of a commitee of my fellow undergrads from throughout the nation, I feel within my bounds of believing it.
With this feeling of trust I presented this to those on GC, so that they can see the similarities, and see that things aren't always what they seem.
Does this mean that I am a racist...absolutely not. I still think that the Auburn Beta's should have thought out the possible consequences as the world has changed. It was stupid for them, just as it was stupid for the those guys at UVA.
