Regarding getting stuff from people who wear them. That works better in theory than in practice. Most of us haven't been undergrads in years so our interactions with people are different. A kid doesn't have to give you that KAPsi jacket. In fact, no one has to give you anything. I know NPHCers who used to carry white tshirts around in case they ran into a nonmember wearing letters. Years later, those NPHCers don't care as much--unless they don't have a life. If nonmembers and perps are understanding and able to relinquish the 'nalia, they will hand over the stuff. If they don't want to for whatever reason, move on as to not have an assault change. I still know Greeks who will inflict physical harm over such things. Those are folks with nothing to lose apparently.

I knew this guy (NPHC) who bragged about beating up this guy who had his letters on. But, he went to jail as a result. That is craziness!
I do not have time, nor do I want, to police letters. I can not imagine going to jail over something like that. Even if some perp had on my letters, it means nothing that they are wearing them if they have not learned the meaning behind the letters, and other AKA symbols. If they have not worked hard for their letters. I do not mean pledging, but if they have not worked at 5am at the soup kitchen, in the cold at Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, if they have not worked to be sisterly......it is trival that they want to perp. It may as well be just a pretty shirt, because I AM NOT going to JAIL for beating up a perp!
