I agree that it's somewhat shameful, but when you see all the university letter's on the bum, it just makes sense for the next thing.
Well some sororities aren't allowed to wear them at my school, like I don't think Alpha Phi is.
I'm sure this fad will pass.

count me in on the letters should not be worn on the butt train.
i think the first person I saw in them was a SDT. I'm sorry, if GDIs think your letters spell "eat", why would you plaster it on your booty? that's just sorta wrong....
was NOT thrilled with a couple girls in my chapter got them...

With the exepction of Kappa, most people here are against them. I have seen them on girls in another sorority, but generally we do avoid it. My Big Big has sweatpants and her letters are on the leg and they look fine. I can't speak for anyone else, but with KLP we have a rule that you can't have anything with letters on the butt so as not to disrespect our letters and the meaning.  I personally think that's a great rule since I HATE HATE HATE butt letters.

As a member of a NPHC organization, I believe the ideology is the same. There is no way possible that when we have girls on they can wear letters in any shape or form. As we say, if you don't know your history, then Zeta is a mystery. Honestly, I think it is crazy to have aspirants wear the letters, spelled out or greek formation. They don't have a clue of the history behind it. When I was online, I couldn't even wear the colors, at all.

I agree but I think it might be different with African American sororities such as mine. Cammykaze1920, i know yours is too.

With Phi Sigma Pi, new members are not allowed to wear letters at all. They can wear "Phi Sigma Pi" written out, though. We have so few PSP shirts, though, that our new members want to get the ones that we have around during their new member period, too...they often buy them but don't wear them until they become brothers, and no one has a problem with that. I think I did that, too.

Most Latin sororities and fraternities that I know of do not allow pledges to wear letters of the organization in any way, shape, or form--no greek letters (iron on or stitched), nothing spelled out in words, no nicknames of the sorority, etc. Gifts with letters, colors, symbols, crests, mascots, etc. are not given to any pledges until they "cross" (are initiated as full-fledged members).
I understand that everyone has different feelings on this topic, but I personally feel that I do not want anyone but sisters (hermanas, sorors) of my organization to wear my letters.
Many LGLOs, BGLOs, and MCGLOs also have handsigns (a symbol of your org made with your hands. If you don't understand, think sign language), which pledges are not allowed to do until they have crossed.

My sorority is the same way. I don't even think that I would want to walk around with something on my chest that I didn't know what it meant...

I'm not a huge fan of the butt letters but has anyone seen the "thong" letters -
 There are some places where letters should not go
If you haven't seen them:

THONG LETTERS?
Now that is just WRONG!
Thankfully, I have yet to see an Alpha Phi Omega thong.

A CREST?!?!?! That's insane! Is that even legal for them to do that? Like wouldn't they need to get APhiO's nationals' permission before using that?

Oh no...
Letters are one thing, but a CREST? That is insulting!

Yeah, but lots of other places do the same things. National headquarters don't have time to go after every single person selling unlicensed things.
