Mother (she has a hoodie that I bought her a few months after I was initiated. She understands how much Sigma Nu means to me so she treats them as if they were her own.)
Sister (She attends the school I graduated from. In my chapter it is an unwritten rule that no other bros can give a sister letters other than her blood brother. When she started school I asked her if she wanted a set to wear and she refused by saying "why would I want your letters? I want to earn my own." She became a member of Alpha Phi and the thought of me giving her letters now is moot... Sometimes when we are out she wears mine when she is cold)
Grandmother (I never even thought about giving either grandmother her letters I don't think they would understand the significance.)
Here is a question: Do any of the other guys here carry a non letter sweetshirt in their car so that if a date or another lady is cold you have a sweetshirt for her other than your letter?

That would certainly be a good idea.
I was in a very awkward situation two years ago when I left a party with a girl. We had to wait for a ride and it was cold outside. She wasn't wearing that much, and I had my linejacket on.
The gentlemanly thing to do would be to put my jacket on her but that's basically like letting her wear my letters, which is pretty bad (it's like putting a girl above my letters or something like that). Outside, there were bros EVERYWHERE, and I knew that if they saw me do that they would never stop giving me shit about it. At the same time... I really *REALLY* liked this girl, and what would she think?

She'd probably think I'm a total jerk and never want to have anything to do with me
I just kept thinking to myself, man what the **** am I gonna do??!?!
