My letters means a lot to me and it took a lot of time on my part to be able to wear them. (In KAO you can't wear letters until you are initiated). The letters that I wear mean a lot and I respect those. I don't even like to drink in a room that letters are in such as in my living room where my composite is or paddles. Anyway the worst is when I see guys in my letters like an event shirt and they are drinking. I know that people associate them with our chapter.
Another problem is if you have a sister that is out of control at parties. I don't care if you have letters on or not, some people know you from classes or from walking down the street and if they see you doing rude and obnoxious things at a party then you are automatically associated with our chapter and people assume that all of us are that way. I am very adiment about this subject because when I was an active we had a sister who did send out a bad reputation. I can say that she was soon no longer a sister. (For that reason and for some other legal issues)
