One of my brothers was in Japan last summer, and he went into a pawn shop or used clothing store or something. In the shop, he saw a LCA wind jacket, and a Delta Sigma Phi Letters Jersey. He bought the jacket because he'd wanted one and it was nice and cheap. He could have bought the jersey too, come back to the states and walked around his hometown sporting it, or wreaked havok in it and Delta Sig's would have been blamed. He just left it there though. I'll bet in other countries those letters don't mean much, if anything to anyone except those who went to college in the states, and cared enough to learn what it meant.
I would assume that some Japanese person probably was in the fraternity mentioned but it didn't mean much when he got back to his homeland, or he bought the shirt here because he liked the "design" then got rid of it. Same goes for the LCA jacket.
