Re: Meaning of letters

Elephant Walk,

I was raised in a Greek household. From the time I was very young it was ingrained how sacred those letters were to those that earned them. Some of my fondest memories are going with my father to his chapter house homecoming weekends.

Before my FI lavaliered me, I wouldn't so much as touch anything with his letters. I wouldn't wash his jerseys or any of his crested or lettered shirts. I am a Girl Scout, and I am a rower. I know what it means to receive the insignia of an organization that you are so deeply committed to.

He wouldn't have lav'd me if he didn't think that I would uphold his letters to the highest standard. I hold myself to the same standards that his brothers do when wearing his letters and I refuse to wear them if there is any chance that my actions in public would not represent his fraternity in a positive light.
