Sorors you all have made valid points. I was taught that outside of greek sponsored parties we should be careful about where we choose to wear para. For example me and some Sorors went to a club each wearing a small pin. However i felt uncomfortable with the crowd that was present and asked the Sorors to remove their pins and everyone did so without hesitation and of course we left as well. That is how i was made, i don't wear para if i am having a bad hair day or am not looking my best because AKA is the best in my opinion therefore we should represent her at our best. I hate seeing Sorors driving wrecked up old or dirty cars with AKA on front but to each his own
Interesting enough a Frat wrote an article about this sometime back but i can't remember where i placed it. So obviously we are not the only ones trying to answer this question.
