Letters

[MSKKG]

AXPGoBot, although it's a good one, your example is a little faulty. Getting hired by TGIFriday's is like pledging, but being made to wait tables is like being initiated. No GLO that I know of pledges someone one day and initiates that person the next.

Your comment about the NMs not appreciating what they're getting is incomplete also. No PNM knows what he/she is "getting" when a bid is accepted. If that were the case, we would all reveal our secrets and the GLO whose secrets are closest to the PNM's philosophies would be the one picked.

I also take exception to your inference that because a GLO lets NMs wear its letters, the members must not truly love their GLO. I love everything about Kappa Kappa Gamma and was allowed to wear her letters. The crest was reserved only for initiated members, but we were allowed to have "KKG" and "Kappa Kappa Gamma" things. I think reserving the letters and the crest for only initiated members is fine, but I see nothing wrong with letting potential sisters or brothers wear the letters.

How do the GLOs that don't allow NMs to wear their letters handle Greek Week T-shirts, Recruitment T-shirts that Rho Chis wear, mixer T-shirts, etc., that include other GLOs on campus? The ones I've seen have the Greek letters on them.
