Does your HQ say its okay for your chapter (and others) to make this distinction? Do they
know that you don't allow them to wear letters?
See, AXO would have a big huge problem with this -- if I saw a post on here from an AXO chapter saying "AXO as a whole allows them to wear letters, but my chapter doesn't" then I'm here to say that they would be getting an email about it.
Don't get me wrong SSS1365 -- I am not trying to call you out on this, as you say that it is tradition for the campus -- I am simply saying that as an Alpha Chi, I would be greatly disturbed seeing this from another one of my chapters. I just believe that for Alpha Chi, the rules that HQ passes down are not negotiable...period. Even when they seem to be petty and out-dated. I guess that being a CA though reminds me that I am responsible for the actions of my chapter -- and I don't want to have to explain myself to National Council about hazing or any other questionable situations.
PM Mama -- you put the perfect example out that I was referring to -- chapter members should be told what is/is not allowed by HQ. That way people aren't out saying the wrong things where others (such as PNM's) will hear them and possibly misinterpret the policies of a particular chapter.
Peachy -- I have heard from others in orgs that the actual name of the sorority has a secret representation...not just the letters themselves. That's all I was basing that question on. I understand your reply, but I was thinking more about the groups that have a secret representation to their name (spelled out).
