"You Are Always Wearing Your Letters"

[33girl]

^^^I was going to say exactly this same thing.

It amazes me how some people can be so hung up on others doing inconsequential things like dropping an f-bomb or drinking in letters, when the fact of the matter is people will have a much worse impression of you if you're in your letters at a restaurant, and are rude to the waiter. Or if groups of members always cluster together at parties and give dirty looks to anyone who even tries to penetrate the circle to say hello. Those actions are remembered far longer.

Agreed. I had to constantly remind them that no one cares about a swear word once in a while, or a cigarette. People do remember bitches, and one consistent turnoff for PMN's is the appearance of there being cliques in a chapter. Sisterhood is more important than the little things.

I understood annoyance with girls who were occasionally and politely reminded of rules but just refused to pay attention to them, but not with the ones that lit up right after their extremely stressful midterm forgetting they were wearing a t-shirt with letters, or ones who had to leave a party early after one too many (everyone has a bad night, and as long as this isn't a reoccurring thing...I always said "chill out").
