I posted a post (redundant) in another forum regarding something similar. I once saw a mom purchase some nalia for her son at a stepshow. He liked the way a certain fraternity stepped and wanted a shirt with the letters. The boy was like 15 or 16 (old enough to be mistaken for a perpetrator vs. an admirer). I was a neo at the time...I mean I was FRESH. I politely went up to the mom and suggested that she not do that because some members of the group may "mistake" him for a member and upon finding out that he's not, go off on her son, not physically (although I have seen this) but it could be embarrassing to him and he really wouldn't understand. She obliged and nothing happened.
I think a woman wearing a man's fraternity shirt is NOT right. If the woman is in a sorority, she (most likely) will understand what his letters mean to him and not try to "sport" them. However, if my boyfriend is in BBB Fraternity and I am "chillin" (you know what I mean) at the hezee and I wanted to run to that kitchen and I slipped his sweatshirt over my head, I don't think I should get the beatdown.Additionally I probably wouldn't break out a screwdriver and remove my license plates if my cousin wanted to borrow my car although I have been thrown off by men driving cars with DST plates and I'm driving by throwing up the signs and all and I realize it's her man/daddy/brother/whatever.
Just my $19.13.
