How many people wear colors like pink and green together or purple and gold aside from members of the org. Exceptions can be made for people who are hopelessly fashion deprived. By no means does this mean don't wear these colors at all but they do have a great significance to the people who have worked and continue to work hard in their honor. Now if the person just happens to be wearing a pink and green outfit and happens to have an AKA bag or some sort of para, that could be problematic if this person is not a member. Since we are both peeking over the fence along with other sisterfriends, it's hard to understand exactly how much love these women and men have for their organizations. Therefore, if displaying colors and letters inappropriately is cause for alarm in their community, I'm gonna back off from the subject.

I'm not getting in trouble today. Yall, it's pay day.
Agreed 100%. Also, it is a matter of respect. Respect for an organization that someone has worked hard for. I know no one has a legal hold on the colors of their organization and all but we know which colors represent which organization and to wear pink and green together, knowing you are not an AKA is WRONG. I know red and white are common colors to put together but I would not feel right wearing the two of them together either, i.e. red shirt and white shorts.
