This was a hot topic when I was a collegiate, several of our members did volunteer work at various organizations, and one at the local battered wives' shelter. Many times these women would come in with nothing but the clothes on their and their childrens' backs. My wonderful roommate had a stock of old (willed down to her by past members) letter t-shirts, very random, many pretty old and tattered. Anyways, she donated these to the shelter, and those women had something to wear. Even the tattered ones, make nice nightclothes.
If you have a choice between a homeless person (man, woman, or child) going without a shirt or wearing your letters, which would you choose? I hope you'd let them wear your letters, because as said above, letters on a shirt don't make you a sorority girl...
