OTOH, at Valpo it was customary for pledges to put their sorority letters in their windows (as well as often having them posted on one's door as a name tag or somesuch by the actives). So one year, some of the RA's made Gamma Delta Iota letters for those who didn't rush, and they could put *those* in their windows if they wanted to.

It was done in good fun and good spirit-- I don't think any of the sorority pledges or actives minded, and some actually loved the idea. Then again, there wasn't a huge anti-greek/pro-greek split on campus when I was there.

Valpo's since gone NPC; I don't know if new members are asked to put their letters in their windows (probably "asked" and not "required" due to hazing, etc., depending on whether new members can even have the actual greek letters displayed before they're fully initiated), but I've seen collegians of many NPC sororities displaying their letters in their windows.
