Stop the "Baby" Talk

We wore ours (with ribbons underneath of course) M-F 9-5 (or whenever you were done with school). That was pretty standard for all the sororities on campus. We also were allowed/supposed to wear it with everything - thank God. DZs had to wear theirs with dress pants or skirts only (in other words they had to dress up for school for 6 weeks) so that made me certain that DZ and I were not meant to be.

I had the pre-op nurse tape over mine, just like a wedding band!

I am currently undergoing therapy for PTSD because the experience was so devastating for me

We all are, KR, we all are.

And none of that M-F bit, either - we were expected to wear them at all times! Oh, the humanity!
