That is adorable.
When I crossed I had an annoying sticker on the back of my car

and people would say "you're a Krappa" or "you're a Que?" As a neo I was militantly correcting people. As the years went on, I saved my corrections for people who may give a darn. We aren't hardly as important to EVERYONE (in terms of recognition) as we like to think that we are.

And that's fine.
At the collegiate level, there are more opportunities to know the different groups but at the alumnae level we're dealing with people in the community--some who know us, some who don't and don't care, and some who don't but want to be around us anyway. They should all come and support, maybe those who don't know will learn about the different groups. If they don't learn, they can still reap the benefits of our services and say "one of those red and white fraternities had a fundraiser."
