Wearing letters in colors other than your GLO's

[BlueNYC2]

as a BGLO member, that is a no no. that shit will get you fucked up by members in your own org, especially them old school ones...SP91 and b4...

i've seen pics b4 of a few bglo members that did that, and i just smh. i know their founders are spinning in their graves...or in the iotas case, bout to put someone back in the cut.

i would NEVER put my letters in any other color but ROYAL BLUE & PURE WHITE...if i ever did, i deserve to get thrown back in the cut for that shit, and have my para ripped off me...

i always wondered why the non-NPHC orgs do that tho. i was at the March of Dimes Walk America a couple of weeks ago, and i seen a bunch of non-nphc orgs and they had their letters in different colors...i was shocked & dumbfounded...all i could do was smh...

Stop

When I saw it, I was confused also, because I am so use to NPHC only wearing their colors so when I saw non-NPHC GLOs doind such I was

Question for the NPHC then (if you can even say):

Is wearing your colors MORE about branding (everyone knows that AKA is Pink & Green and APhiA is Black & Gold) or about the meaning behind your colors?

I unearthed my letter shirts about a year ago. In addition to permutations of shirts and letters being Sky and Sea Blue and white, I have a daffodil yellow top with a Black Watch plaid, kelly green with pink plaid, kelly green with pink floral. This was not unusual at my college. My sister was in the same GLO at a different campus and it was the same for her.

Opinions may differ, here's one:

When it comes to wearing our symbols, it is generally about the meaning behind the symbols and not violating most of our organization's written (and unwritten) protocol regarding patterns, colors, and so forth.

When it comes to just wearing clothes in certain colors (without the symbols), for ME it's about both the meaning and the identifiability as a member when I wear Crimson and Cream or red and white. But I usually don't wear my Sorority's colors or symbols when I go to Greek events.

Why (if I may ask)?

This is coming from a neo who is trying her best to restrain herself from wearing colors/letters/pins all the time.

I don't wear my letters in any other colors but Maroon and White and all of my peri is in the same colors.
And letters on your azz is gross.

not to answer for DSTCHAOS, but it cames with age for me. I don't usually wear colors or symbols to greek events either. I stopped that around 5 years in the game.

Just you wait, Sugar. Once you're five or more years into the game, you won't even need to wear 'nalia. People will already know what you're reppin'.

That's true. I do wear a necklace from time to time, but I rarely wear shirts or anything. AKAtude comes from within.

Personally I agree with you. Maybe I'm more "hardcore" about it than most people...(is that the right word..."into it"? I don't know.)

I sometimes wish that NPC sororities were as "hardcore" as NPHC orgs...but it'll never happen, so be it. Love it though...I guess respect comes in different levels and is taken with different levels of severity depending on the council or organization.
