I've never heard of a pledge [guy] before. Is it like a little sis org for frats, or the frat you party with on bid day?

I think they outlawed those kinds of orgs at my campus, but I don't know how much was nationals and how much was locals.

I've seen ABC Dad shirts on people's actual parents, and I've seen guys and girls wearing event shirts (parties, homecoming, formal, etc.), but not people who aren't related to an org or its events in some way.

FWIW, I got my Phi Mu Alpha (Sinfonia) letters when I was lavaliered. We picked them out together, though some couples on my campus would surprise the lavalier-ee with a set of letters and a lavalier all at once. I can't wear "Sinfonia", though, AFAIK.

(Odd note-- I pinned him before he pinned me, but I was in a local. Can girls in NPC sororities lavalier and pin guys?)
