At one point, my chapter was known as the "prude" chapter, where noone drank and noone had fun. In fact, a couple of non-greeks thought we were one of the community service sororities. So, as a "PR" move, we started letting our letters "slip out" at parties. Nothing drastic, but maybe we'd make sure to mention we were in a sorority while drinking, or "accidentally" leave our keychains on our keyrings. It was nothing that other sororities hadn't been doing for years, but it helped us lose our reputation as the "non-fun" sorority.

Also, something that we always have said to our new members, and that was said to us is that as large as our school is (I went to U of S. Carolina), Greek Life is small, and for the most part everyone knows what sorority everyone is in, anyway. You should always act with your letters off as you would with them on.

I'm sorry if others don't agree with me, but I really don't see much wrong with this. If they were drinking responsibly and not acting like drunken idiots, then I personally don't see it as bad PR. I kinda see is as good. But, maybe I understand this because of the chapter that I came from.
