I have a rush shirt that I got from the university that I transferred from, and it had letters of all 3 sororities on the front and back. I wore it around campus, during the summer, to bed... whenever I needed a clean tshirt. However, I wasn't affiliated with anyone. Am I going to be attacked by the "Omigod-they're-not-greek!" police?
I'll never forget being in the library where a good friend of mine who happened to be a Chi Omega loaned me a pencil with *gasp* LETTERS ON IT!
I was chewed out by a group of 3 overzealous pledges who said, "You are NOT a Chi-O! Why do you have that? Give it back!"
That experience was enough for me to treasure that pencil ever since... My ChiO friend got a huge laugh out of that...
What's the big deal about someone wearing a rush shirt? It's not saying they're affiliated. I loved my rush shirt - there are great memories associated with it. I made great friends that week, and through rush got much closer to my roommates. I chose not to pledge, and have transferred from that school. Should I have given my shirt back?
