Just my opinion....

Sorority girls often get stereotyped....like we all act like those "sorority girls gone wild" tapes. I think the rules exist not only out of respect for our letters, but also because the general (non greek) public sees us at bars, and seeing a drunk girl who's acting like an idiot with letters on just adds weight to the "sorority girls are _______(sluts/partiers/drunks)" image.
We don't wear our letters in a bar even if we're not drinking, and never to parties where there's alcohol.
The double standard exists everywhere - not just in the greek system. A guy can be drunk all the time and sleep with every girl he can get, and still be fine; even if he gets a rep as a player, other guys will still look up to him. A girl only has to get publicly drunk and do something stupid once, and can get a reputation or have one ruined. The problem isn't with the greek system, it's with society as whole. It just gets even more scrutiny within the greeks because a large group is easier to attack. Think about it: what makes better gossip: "there was this girl in a black skirt at the bar last night. She was such a ho." or "there was an XYZ at the bar last night...they are such hos."
That's just how I see it....
