I'm not trying to be controversial, just to see exactly what you feel is okay and not okay, so don't think I'm picking a fight!

Though I was a little sister, I also would not attend a joint function with another sorority at Delts out of respect for that sorority. Again, it gave the impression that you were trying to take a place that was not earned.
I was president of the Li'l Sisters and it was a rule I imparted that that was crashing. Though it wasn't a written fraternity rule, it would present an awkward situation for the Delts to explain. i.e.. "Oh, who is she? She's a little sister. Sure you don't mind them being here too?" The only exception was open parties or parties were Lil sisters were expressly invited.
My advisor husband is attending chapter tonight and plans to bring this up to "his boys". He is going to open it for discussion and follow their consensus. I will be sure to post their reply. By the way, I still have my lavalier and will be wearing it to our Founders Day Formal this weekend. Been a VERY long time since I've been invited to a Delt Formal ;-)

Ok - so Delt Hubby brought up the entire discussion of who can wear letters, aside from the stated policy regarding pledges it was agreed that:
1) event/fundraiser t-shirts - always ok whether greek or non-greek i.e. "DTD Relay for Life"
2) Sweetheart and Lil Sis - ok but with clear prominent designation stating "Sweetheart" or "Lil Sis" (point being whole fraternity voted on their status)
3) lavaliered or pinned - necklace/pin ok, but his letters on official Delt clothing meant for brothers - no way (includes his shirts or buying them herself at a Greek store)
