OK, I looked at the last page of this thread without reading the first three and I'm still giggling.
I don't have any DZ shorts/pants because I just thought one letter on each cheek looked funny, but hey, you all have just given me plenty of more reasons not to get any!
As for the original question, I always felt kinda stupid when I wore a letter shirt and carried my tote bag with the letters on at the same time...whenever I forgot and did that, I would just usually turn the bag around so that the letters faced inward. Being proud is one thing, but looking like an overly-eager pledge (new member, oops) is another.
