Every time I see a thread like this, I keep thinking about how many sorority women won't let anyone touch their letters or crest or whatever - yet would kill to wear their boyfriend's fraternity pin.

Not so much pinned any more but girls were getting laveliered (sp?) all over the place. (and that was just 10 years ago not the 50's)

I don't care about the letters thing, cause our letters were on party shirts and 5k run shirts and philanthropy shirts so, if I see someone who wasn't even greek wearing my letters I don't care. Now the crest on the other hand. For initiated sisters only. As far as I am concerned. (but to each her own)

Because items are so attainable (which is why our licensed vendors cannot sell our items over the internet, and all of their merchandise must be pre-approved--but alas that doesn't stop the unlicensed sellers) it is too easy for someone to pretend to be what they aren't.

that was very interesting to note. i had no idea (of course i don't spend lots of time trying to order greek merchandise online)!

Using my coffee cup is not a necessity (I have a problem with anyone using one of my special coffee cups--this extends beyond just AKA mug).

and i agree with this...mainly because if someone else is using it and it breaks...i will be upset. at least if i break it, i have no one else to be mad at! hehehe...and my special coffee mug has this lattice design with pastel colored hearts and in no way reflects phi mu.

as far as wearing letters/pin of a fraternity- as a woman who is extremely independent, i wore my ex-bf's letters. it was a very sweet gesture on his part that he gave them to me. once he gave them to me, he invited a bunch of his brothers into the room and they all hugged me and congratulated me because they knew it was important to my ex-bf. it was something that was also a big deal on our campus.

i guess i have always considered things like pens, pencils, cups, etc. to be more like tools for PR. heck, even medications have pens imprinted with their names, and it is all for the idea of spreading the word. it is my understanding (although i don't have confirmation) that when npc orgs are presenting at a campus, they give away things like pens and pencils.

either way, i still firmly believe that we as greeks have bigger fish to fry.

Havent Times have changed?

Money being a Main Cost Factor?

But if a Favor was/is given out then, if there are Letters on it, what are the reciepents supposed to do with them? Toss into the closet for trash?

I dont really understand this whole post. It is becoming outrageous on Letters/Combo Letters or an Combo Event with two sets of Letters on it.

If I saw a Male or Female with Letters on from some other than Thier GLO, is it a sign of respect? Is it Advertising Mine/Your GLO?

Get over some of your inihibetions and feel good that they are wearing them. What if no one gave a damn?

No Party, no good time and no recognition.

Choose wisely how it is supposed to be used.

I didn't think we were talking about party favors.
