pink.... yeah, a lot of people ignore us when we ask them not to put our letters on it. It happens. We don't like it, but oh well.

^^ I think the whole putting lettings on event shirts is always a problem anyways. I've seen tons of shirts that come out with mistakes For example, I've seen letters for "Theta Mu" instead of Phi Mu, "Omicron Delta" instead of Omega Delta, "Epsilon Kappa" instead of Sigma Kappa, "Alpha Chi Alpha" instead of Lambda Chi Alpha, and "Alpha Zeta Delta" instead of Alpha Xi Delta (WHICH IS WHY AXiDs SHOULD NEVER WRITE OUT AZD!!!!!//endrant)

oh, and this is cute... my Big's 85 year old grandma made her a bag with letters stitched on it ... that had the greek letters Kappa Alpha Phi. She got the Theta and Phi mixed up. My big still used the bag though.

So, yikes, als463 is a friend with a perp? Oh no, she needs to stage an intervention. I can't be friendly with people who I know to be misrepresenting themselves about something that I consider to be serious.

I agree. I didn't feel it was my place to say anything. Why? Because one of our mutual friends who is a Tri-Delt from UCF knows about it and hasn't said anything to her. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes regarding this. Now, if this was a Phi Mu, there would be a difference because it is my chapter. Don't get me wrong, if I saw a guy sporting Delta Sigma Theta, Tri-Sigma or any other "female" organization, I would ask him about it but, chances are, one of the members of those organizations would beat me to it.

You aren't formally intervening, as in calling the national headquarters. That's your other lousy Tri-Delta friend's job.
You are intervening as a friend. As far as I'm concerned, someone who doesn't understand rules and boundaries regarding that is someone who can never completely be trusted, period. You know her better than I do, though. I just know what my family, friends, acquaintances, and I wouldn't tolerate from each other.

Perp stories always make me giggle. Especially from within the NPHC.
Look people it is EXTREMELY easy to find out if someone is a member. Perping will literally get you hurt in some instances. I've had people ask me if someone was an Alpha when they didn't think he was. I confirmed it within 5 minutes, outside of standard ways of determining.
I'll never forget this girl being found out for perping AKA. I've never seen someone disappear off the face of the earth so fast.
TL : DR - perping isn't worth it.

Ok, so I knew nothing about this girl at all. Or this situation.
Since you mentioned her, I Googled this person and I kid you not, the first suggestion was "Kim Torres AKA"
LOL. Wow. Must have been kind of a big deal.
ETA: Just skimmed a few of the search results. Double wow.

*really* wierd perp(?) situation
In one of the more recent Power Rangers (Mystic Force), in one of the episodes, one of the five power rangers is wearing a t-shirt with the Alpha Phi Omega coat of arms on it. The actor is from Australia or New Zealand, which makes them being a brother fairly unlikely...
Does that count?

Are the Power Rangers in college now? I could almost give them that if they're in college as an in character shirt not representative of the actor.

Isn't there a APO Australia? I remember reading about it as a pledge doing research. Maybe associated with APO in the Philippines.

Nope. Greekdom is still a really small world, even in a big city.
Or perping a really big chapter thinking that because there are so many initiates, no one will know you're lying. False.

It's even worse, i think, to perp in a bigger city. For starters, there are likely to be more members. With more members, in a big city, comes geographic diversity - so many transplants (school, work, moving with a spouse/family) that it would be uber quick to bust Perpin' Patrice, who's claiming to have become a member of XYZ back in the day at State U. Guess what? the alumnae chapter president went to Tech, down the street from State U and guess what - they didn't have a line that semester, or they were inactive.
exit Perpin' Patrice.
sidenote: someone got busted as a perp on twitter. its that serious yall.
