I remember my first chapter as a new member, they gave us this whole PR presentation on "double lettering." They basically told us that it just *looks* tacky to have your Kappa bag, with a Kappa button, Kappa shirt-shoes-hats, etc. They told us that if we're wearing a Kappa shirt and want to use our tote bag, just flip the letters to the inside. So I'm just used to that whole thing, and now I see how tacky it looks. I remember seeing girls from one specific chapter quadruple-lettering with all the stuff they got on Bid Day... and it just looked so TACKY!
I still wear my lavalier, but I rarely wear it with just a t-shirt anyway... mainly with a shirt that has a nice neckline to show off the lavalier.
Okay, enough talking about this silly stuff... just wanted to share! lol
