Wearing your letters?

[broomstick]

People wear their letters quite frequently on the University of Minnesota campus. I'm graduated and I still wear my letters.

Our house, however, has made the rule that we aren't allowed to consume alcohol or be drunk while wearing our letters outside of our chapter house.

At my chapter we got this really great bag on bid day and I carry that with me all the time and as letter t-shirts I wear those on letter day. Then there other times when I just have on a function t-shirt So probaly about twice a week I wear letters

As to the comments about alum wearing letters... I went alum in 2000 and I still wear letters, but the way I wear them ahs changed. I am a teacher so I carry my tote bags a lot now. I would carry a tote bage anyway for all my "teacher stuff" and these just happen to be the ones I have. I wear my jewelry with letters on it now (necklace and a bracelet some) but mostly because a)I like them and b)they were all gifts from family members (both Greek family and real family). I don't wear shirts with letters much anymore because of several reasons. The biggest is I am not a t shirt person really, I tend to wear sweaters and kakhis now more then jeans. Also all my college letters are pretty icky anymore so I wear them to sleep in. I so want to buy some nice new letters on a sweatshirt, but this is because when we do alum things I want something nice to wear.

Same here. I wear fraternity jewelry that is understated but has special meaning to me.

I have a pinky ring as well as a few necklaces and braceletes with letters and/or crest/and or crown.

The most special pieces, though.. were given to me as gifts. One is a gorgeous silver charm bracelet that was hand made by the same person who gave it to me. I wear it nearly every day.

It has a silver strawberry, pink ribbon for our philanthropy, silver crown, and a few other charms she included that are also very special to me (judo charm, ship's wheel, my university's mascot, etc).

I also have a lovely five-pointed crown pin someone else gave me.

A group of my non-fraternity friends chipped in to buy me a gorgeous 14k gold and diamond pendent with letters and crest for my birthday.

I do have a few shirts and sweatshirts, but wear them mostly to alumnae pic-nics and scrapbooking events.

Fraternity? Aren't you a girl?

.......and aren't you that 200 something year old AI hag that stalks people via public records and the internet?

Some Sororities have Fraternity in their name.

Get with it if you can.



As far as wearing letters, I guess it is each to their own isn't it?

LOL! In his pompous attempt to launch an attack, macallan25 just shot himself in the foot. Gotta love it.

As I stated earlier, it is your Pref.

But as your Brother stated, I too have met many members of other GLOs by wearing letters. I really like meeting members fro other GLOs and sometimes I find mine. Hell, a Kenny Chesney concert, I met 5 LX's, a BTPi, and a ZTA even though I was looking for an AGD!

I do not wear them all of the time, but if I wear a ball cap, I wear mine with letters.

Why should I advertise for Old Navy, Da GAP, Buttweiser, Nike just to be cool and over pay on items?

While you sprout a halo, and your buddy Mystic takes up for you... here is your post.. just to refresh your memory. Here's a tip.. next time you make a sarcastic remark, make sure you have your facts straight. And here's another tip... personal attacks are against the TOS.

I still didn't correct you....try again. See those question marks? That would indicate a question.

I'm sorry you were around when Moses recited the Ten Commandments and now you've forgotten how to read.
