Interesting topic, soror. Such a choice (when and where to represent) was not an issue to me until I transferred into my grad/present chapter. After a chapter meeting, some of us went out for lunch and had drinks with our meal. I didn't think anyhting of enjoying a mudslide with my entree. Anyway, when the drinks came, one soror gave her pin a little tap and said, "Sorors, don't forget." Everyone nodded and took their pins off. I, being a new jack to the chapter, followed suit, assuming it was just customary or protocol.
Personally, I only wear pins to chapter meetings. If the event is more social in nature, I'll wear some article of clothing with letters or obvious color schemes. Other than that, I keep it to my keychain, chapter tote bag, and wallet. Most of the para I have isn't wearable (i.e. stationery and things like that).
With or without para, Mom taught me to always conduct myself as a lady should; sounds like LadyAKA learned that same lesson
. Is there anything in the Protocol Manual (of which I don't have a ready copy available) that speaks to this topic? Just curious.
Sisterly,
APR
