I think the idea of the shout outs in the paper is a great idea and also a way to increase our Panhellenicism and Interfraternalism on campus. I know we have tried before to have positive PR in the paper, however, the truth of the matter is that our school newspaper isn't too supportive of Greek Life. That might change though, I don't know. I do know some greek members who write for the paper but as far as I know with past editors, anything greek was never published unless it was negative or had a negative connotation tied to something positive. They would, however, post Songfest and Mocktail results, but articles were very small if anything more than a picture.
But I'm also not saying that we can't keep trying because we can...I'm just pointing out the issues we've had in the past.
Also...wearing letters and event T's on campus is not a problem AT ALL. I always see letters being worn on campus and I would have to say that all (if not most of) the sorority women own bags with their block letters on them. So visibility of letters isn't really an issue...
