Regarding the "burgundy", that's kind of close to crimson, so I don't see that as quite as bad as a navy blue pullover.

I have to respectfully disagree - blue is blue, regardless of the fabric and burgundy is burgundy, not crimson nor red. Shades of magenta and pink are also "close" to red.
My point simply was that it's not always a clear, black and white issue to the point where it could be called "definitely out of protocol." They are both poor choices and when it comes to protocol, there is a vast area of gray that gets interpreted differently by different people. I don't think any of us disagree when it comes to the color of the symbols, but it's the garments on which folks choose to put the letters that is the issue. I've seen grey/black/white camoglouge outfits with the letters on them and I've also seen a regular, heather greay sweatshirt with red symbols applied. The sweats didn't bother me, but the camo's did!! Some wouldn't draw a distinction between the two. The other point is the manner in which someone chooses to let someone know their attire may be inappropriate - I'd be more disgusted with the soror that felt the need to "snatch" something off of someone's body than the soror that had red letters on a blue pullover - but that's a whole different issue altogether that I'll just leave alone because I'll be typing until Saturday!!
