Please put principle over pride, and if your letters mean that much to you, please don't allow them to be placed on items were they could be "compromised", or leave nalia where others can get access to it.
My .25 cents.

I'm a non greek, but those are my sentiments exactly... when the well being of any human being comes into play, all bets are off. I saw two women walking down stairs one greek and one not and the non-greek lady took a nasty fall and broke her arm. The greek took off her sweater which had her letters on it and made a sling for her friend to set the arm. Her sorors protested for a second but saw the urgency in her doing that and backed off.
