Anyone else not really head over heels with their GLO's colors/symbols?

The only thing that comes to mind that I don't like is when I see Nupes (usually neos) wearing Playboy bunnies on their jackets. It's been banned, plus it never had anything to do with our fraternity. And what kind of man is proud to be a playboy/player?



Other than that, I love everything about our colors and symbols because of what they represent, and they also can be worn with a lot of other clothing. It just gives off such a "preppy" look. I especially like wearing an IU cap with regular casual wear. This is just me, but I think our colors, symbols, and letters stand out from the rest of the NPHC fraternities, especially when it's done in our traditional Krimson and Kream. Kappa Alpha Psi is a beautiful thing.

ETA: Hell, if I wasn't a Nupe, I'd hate us, too. LOL

I knew you would hate that.

I think it was the 1980s when I first noticed people sporting the playboy bunny and then it being associated with Kappa. I think my memory is correct. I always hated it. It's an unnecessary and stupid reference.

I read years ago where playboy was either suing or called for a cease and desist on the use of the playboy bunny in reference to Kappa. Kappa started telling members to stop getting things with the logo and burn the things they already have. LOL. The good thing is that was never an official animal or symbol.

/of course you know much more about this than I do

With that said, I love everything about Delta's colors and official and unofficial symbols. What I sometimes don't like is how some (licensed and unlicensed) vendors put it together and how some Deltas of all ages choose to display it. But, I have no real complaints as long as they are not violating Protocol and Traditions.

I remember this in the early 90's too...sooo glad it died out. And that's hilarious about the cease and desist if that's true, but yeah how you gon' just take a trademarked symbol and use it like it's officially yours?! LOL!
