there's a reason as to why our colors our chosen..you're right, i can't speak for any of the other eight. the whole point is that you'll never see the letters of your frat in anything except your colors, point blank. and that is why the colors are important as well. and i'm sure if you ever saw one of your bruhs ine something like that, you'd have a word with them. but as i said...it's going to be a misunderstanding if i ever see frat with my letters on in anything except brown and gold.

Right, it's called protocol.

I have seen NPHC letters with a fabric print that matched the colors of the organization. It wasn't exactly plaid or floral, but it was a design nonetheless. Whether this violated an organization's protocol, I do not know. I trust that the member wearing the print knew their own rules.

Even if the pattern is in the organization's colors, there is a general consensus against the use of patterns.

Beyond that, floral prints, plaids, Gucci sketch, etc. are plain hideous, to me.

Really?? All the guys I knew who were in two diff. NPHC fraternities (I forget the names..) all had to dress alike, and one group had to carry around canes that were red and white when they were pledging....Jett Jackson was one of those guys!!

Really? I've seen some pretty florals patterns. KLP's flower is the morning glory and my family tree letters have a morning glory pattern on a white background on a navy blue shirt. It looks so cute!

I'm glad you think so

However, seeing those prints in the form of BGLO letters are a definite no-no, to me. For reasons beyond their being ugly.

Ok next question, I saw an ivy leaf pattern that's white with ivy leaves on it. If you put that on a pink shirt with a green background, would that be ok to give to an AKA, hypothetically speaking?

Ask the AKA you plan to give it to. Or, ask someone in her chapter if you want it to be a surprise.

People, how difficult is it to just understand that everyone's organization is just not the same. Understand that if organizations in the NPC are permitted to wear their letters with any combination of colors it is because their colors may not have the level of significance to their organization as do members of the NPHC. As a member of an NPHC organization, I can say that our colors have a ritualistic, secretive meaning; therefore we are not permitted to wear our letters with any color just because we like the way it looks, or whatever the case may be.

Thank you blulady. Now it makes sense. The fact that it has a ritualistic meaning is the explanation I think a lot of people needed to understand this.

Gucci letter pattern....shudder. I'm sure there is a LV and Burberry floating around out there too....

I was told by someone (NOT a Delta Sig) to NOT buy a jacket like that because I'd look too much "like one of those cultural greeks".

I'm still buying one.

Hell, I get siht cause I had my pledge class embroidered on the sleeve, my last name on the hood, and my nickname on the back

Look like a "cultural greek"? Oh, perish the thought of celebrating a tradition of fully established, long-standing organizations much like your own. Hmmm...I'm glad you went ahead and did your thing!!

Why thank you very much. I want people to know how much love I have for my org, and that includes every aspect of it, from my chapter to my pledge class.

My bros often wonder why I know every chapter by heart, or most of the fraternity and chapter history, or stuff like that. They may think that means I'm like "cultural greek", but I just tell them this:

"I know what my letters stand for.....b*tch"

I guess I am as stuupid as you are! DeltaSigStan, what the hell is a cultural Greek?

Hell, I beleive in My and Love My Fraternity! Stan, can you explain what the H she was talking about!!

In the words of OTTER, "Is Not Each Fraternity/Soroity have rights and feel that they are The Best"?

Oh, just to parphrase of course, I finally destroyed my Animal House tape from over use!
