If people don't understand about our organizations they may not see the value in not having others wear para.
If someone understands about the orgs. but is perpin' I say that they are taking their safety into their hands. I personally don't want to got to jail. I will try to talk them out of wearing it(if I can). But I am not fighting. I love AKA but I don't like the idea of jail.
I hope it is ok to wear a tee with an orgs name on it if you participated in something. For example the eastern region of APhiA had a leadership camp. They asked some AKA's to be counselors for the girls and they worked with the guys. I was a counselor. At the end of the camp we all got shirts that said Alpha Phi Alpha leadership institute (white shirts w/black & gold) I wear it on occasions but not often. I hope someone would understand that I participated in the program not that I was a groupie or ignorant of the org.
