Guess what I saw!

You are walking down the street and you glance up and notice someone is wearing the letters of an organization you are pretty sure they don't belong to. What do you do?

This happened to my fraternity brother who went into Popeye's and noticed a man wearing a t-shirt for a D9 sorority...

May have been a Husband, boy friend or father of a member?

I would have asked who they were related to or what!

[Intense1920]

No, that wouldn't fly. You do not wear the letters if you are not a member of that organization. Only exception is a "I am a mother/niece/cousin/etc. of a XYZ" t-shirt.

Maybe the man was homeless or just poorer than most of us. Either way, I'm pretty sure that he doesn't have (nor probably cares about) knowledge of greek organizations.

He just saw a cheap shirt at Goodwill and that was all the motivation he needed to purchase it.

So, in your org. a husband could not wear your letters? If I see a a person wearing my letters and it's a guy I just ask him a question and wait for the right reply, and then give him a grip and wait for the right reply. I love when I bump into my fraternity brothers.

No man I marry will be outside (or inside for that matter) with Zeta Phi Beta on his body. Unless it's a "My wife is a Zeta" shirt, like my Soror said.

As someone else mentioned, often times people find greek letter shirts at goodwill or salvation army. I've seen homeless people in Philadelphia with fraternity letters on all the time...it happens. Have your brothers or sisters donate their letter shirts to the house rather than the local thrift store, and this won't happen, but I doubt it is malicious.

It probably was a homeless person that Frat saw. I was just speaking from the standpoint of someone wanting to do it purposefully.

Mind my own business.

leaving the MARC yesterday, I was in the car and I saw this old man in the lobby with the biggest AKA shield on his chest. He was with his wife, so I'm hoping it said "my wife is an aka" or something like that, but it was just so funny to me cause all I could make out was this old man being dragged around the hotel with this HUGE shield on his sweatshirt... I guess that's why they call them "honey-do's"

LOL. Yup, that's part of the "honey-do-ism." I sure wish I had one. *le sigh.*

Hmmm, reminds me of when a guy in my dorm got a Kappa shirt from Goodwill and wore it for Halloween -- along with a miniskirt, fishnets, and completely tarted-up makeup. He was a "sororislut".

Too bad he ran into a group of Kappas later that night who completely b*tched him out.

THAT is why you should donate your old letter shirts to your local chapter, and not sell them at Goodwill!

As sad as it is, I remember the LA riots when there were loads of people looting the greek store near USC. There were a bunch of people walking around with greek gear, that were most obviously not greek..that is unless it was the greeks doing the looting. j/k

WOO WOO WOO Sawrah! You'll find a honey-do in due time.

Honey-do's are so great! But, I cannot imagine dragging my future HD to Boule or Regional Conference.

That's funny. My friend is a member of DST and she said that our piano player for the choir came to choir rehersal with a big AKA shirt on. I must have died laughing. I don't think you should wear any letters that are not your own unless it is a my wife/husband/mother/father is a ...

Some people are just dumb though. I took my little cousins to my high school with me about 2 yrs ago. (I was in college, but I came to visit a teacher.) They had on shirts that said MY MOM is an AKA or Future AKA shirts and this girl was like... "Oh My Gosh. They AKA's???" She was all amazed...I was like yeah they sure are. They pledged at daycare.

I met a guy once and I had my jacket on. He ASSUMED I was in a sorority so he was trying to impress me saying that he was a Kappa (KAY). We talked for a few weeks and I knew he was lying. He kept changing his line name, line's name, and number. He claimed that all his pari was somewhere else. He didn't know the chapter name of the school he was claiming, he didn't know the founders and furthermore he did not carry his self like a Kappa Man. I hate when people lie....just tell the truth!!!
