wearing your GLO of other organizations

[Midwest]

For those that belong to two, or more, GLOs (I belong to one social, one service) how often did you divide wearing your letters (I'm equally proud of both organizations)? I found myself switching from each every other day. On the weekends I didn't wear any letters unless I had an event associated with either one. Also, if you wore your service/honor/professional letters to your social and vice versa what were the reactions?

The only time I wore sorority letters to a service org event was if I was going STRAIGHT to a service org event and didn't have time to change in between.

I tend to wear my FIJI letters more just because I prefer zip-up hoodies and I have more FIJI zip-ups, while my APO letters are pullovers. So I end up only wearing APO letters when I am at APO events.

I don't really see why you would need to mix them up. I mean, you'd have to be sitting there thinking about what to wear to an XYZ event and choose an ABC jacket/shirt/tote/whatever. I don't get what the point would be.

(Now, not gonna lie, if I had a Delta umbrella like I wish I did, I think I would take that wherever I was going whenever it was raining - it's not like an OPhiA umbrella exists anyway.)

As far as which I wore more of, I wore Sigma shirts more simply because I had more of them.

Every year in my chapter, seniors handed down old shirts. Then we did shirts for every formal, semi-formal, homecoming, Greek Week, etc. By the time I graduated, I had enough shirts to wear a different one everyday for a month.

My service org typically only ordered one official chapter shirt for the year, and a shirt for our formal. So I didn't have anywhere near as many.

I don't mean wearing GLOs that do not correspond to the event. It would be logical and respectful to wear the correct letters to the right event. What I was trying to ask was on just a given day when you don't have events planned for those orgainizations, what organization do you "represent" more?

I suggest wearing the letters of the social GLO because it will help with advertising the name and recruitment.

I feel that service/professional GLOs are sought out by people who already intend to join.

Sometimes, just as social GLOs are sometimes sought by people who already intend to join. But often, no.

No.

Now, to answer the OP's question - I can't answer that accurately for college, as I pledged OPhiA sophomore year, but I was a senior when I became a Delta. So obviously the only letters I wore were OPhiA, but for that last bit of college, I was very much your standard neo and all about my DST letters Now that I am older and, um, fatter, my college clothing, including most of my letter gear from that time, has been retired save a few choice pieces.
