I respect ASA whether it's ASA ASA or ASA.

They mean the same thing, regardless of color.

It's like Sheila likes to say - respect the letters themselves, not the fabric sewed to a sweatshirt.

It's the principle of it. I realize the colors aren't the most important part of the organization, but they're still a part of it...kinda like being on the USA Olympic team and showing up wearing Russia's flag on your shirt. Yeah, you're on the USA team and you're in your uniform...but you're wearing someone else's flag because you think it's cuter. Doesn't scream "team spirit". It just seems like a little thing to do to be supportive...I mean I like skull and crossbones designs and I love anchors, I miss the color pink, I love the combination of blue and white, and I like pink and blue together...but I make the small sacrifice of not incorporating them into my sorority paraphenalia because they aren't mine...and dressing Alpha Gamma Delta in, say, Phi Mu's colors doesn't seem right.

I hate when someone calls me a "Sig Chi". Our nickname is "Sig". Just "Sig".

I was wearing a shirt with the letters on it one day. Someone asked me why I had "ex" on my shirt.

It's just a t shirt. Besides, considering that there are 26 sororities in the NPC, people's colors are bound to overlap. On my campus we have both ASA and AOII, and we both use red and white as our colors.

I don't view anything with my letters on it as "JUST a..." because it also has my letters. Overlapping of official colors is one thing...making a pink and white AGD jersey is another.

I still think it has to do with the intent. If you make a pink & white shirt because you happen to like pink & white together, that's fine. If you make a pink & white jersey because you have Phi Mu on your campus, and you want to piss them off, that's bad.

Guess we gotta agree to disagree.
