Interesting topic, indeed. Soror Skeeopatra made some very valid points. When you are wearing 'nalia you are representing Alpha Kappa Alpha to people who would otherwise not know you are an AKA. Therefore, the image you project is the impression they will have of you and maybe the organization.
However, sometimes we may have to look at this based on the situation. If a soror is wearing 'nalia, is out to diner, and wants order a glass of wine, then I don't have a problem with that as long as she conducts herself appropriately. However, I do have a problem with things happening like the one Skeeopatra described at the Bayou Classic. There is no excuse for that type of behavior. I would be embarrassed, too.
