I also agree... and guess what? This "symbol worship" is unique to mostly YOUNGER BGLO members.
It used to be traditional that when a couple was engaged, the fraternity member would "pin" his fiance.. He would GIVE HER his fraternity pin! I own an Omega pin... I have also worn an Omega sweater IN PUBLIC on a college campus.
You can get as angry as you wish about somebody "perping" with your symbols, but if you touch that person, you might either get hurt or arrested...
I am devoted to Delta - have been for almost 25 years - but I do not worship our symbols.

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.
