People, how difficult is it to just understand that everyone's organization is just not the same. Understand that if organizations in the NPC are permitted to wear their letters with any combination of colors it is because their colors may not have the level of significance to their organization as do members of the NPHC. As a member of an NPHC organization, I can say that our colors have a ritualistic, secretive meaning; therefore we are not permitted to wear our letters with any color just because we like the way it looks, or whatever the case may be. As far as identifying aspirants to our organization by way of wearing our letters and colors, one has to know the history of organizations of the NPHC. Before 1990 aspirants to orgs. of the NPHC wore identifying clothing and carried items unique to the org they were pursuing membership with. Because pledging as we (NPHC) once knew it is now forbidden, no org of the NPHC wants anyone to be able to identify its potential new members simply because of the penalties they may face if it is discovered. Anyone with Greek radar can tell which org. a person is pursuing if they know what to look for in a case like this, but in a nutshell, it's as simple as I just explained it.
Oh, yeah did I forget to say that I am a ..... Zeta?
