i disagree. Independents are stupid people about greek life. if they see anyone misbehaving in greek letters it only brings bad PR to our community, even if they're not really greek. but hey, what can you do about it.

As long as they're not claiming to be a fraternity, and they're not wearing letters belonging to an actual GLO, what's the big deal?

There were a few groups at my school that adopted letters. The Lecture Series Committee was Lambda Sigma Chi; SIPB (Student Information Processing Board - nowhere near as stuffy as it sounds!) was Sigma Pi Beta. Everyone on campus knew they were not actual GLOs; any clueless freshmen were quickly clued in.

The crew team on a friend's campus made "Greek" shirts that said PPP. I thought it was hilarious.

Somebody paid attention during "Revenge of the Nerds."

It's a free country. Yeah, it's kind of silly, but whatever.

A couple of actives in my fraternity live in the Cal ski and snowboard club how which calls itself Sigma Kappa Iota and I've never heard a single person here even comment on their use of Greek letters. I guess people in Berkeley are just a lot less uptight than other people.

Cal hasn't been hippie for almost 30 years. Campus is much, much different than the rest of the city of Berkeley, and the fraternities here enjoy going to wherever the hippies are gathering and making fun of them. If you guys heard about the tree sitting hippies, when they finally cut the trees down and made the hippies leave, a bunch of the fraternities (including mine) showed up with signs saying "free firewood" and other similar anti-hippie rhetoric. Please speak from experience instead of just ridiculous stereotypes of places.

If being a "TBZ" makes them feel even more united, good for them. They work just as hard to be a team as fraternity and sororities members do.

Why don't you just go to your local university store and purchase a track jacket?
