I guess its a good thing im NIC because we a)use the word pledges and b)dont allow pledges to wear letters, we allow them to wear PIKES but not the letters. I dont see why that is hazing, its just like making your high school sports team, if you dont make the team, you dont get a jersey, so why is it different for fraternities or sororities, if you dont make it, why should you wear the letters?

Mind set for some!


What ever one wants to call it, you still allow nebies to wear some kind of recognition and that is good!

It is still called ADVERTISING Your GLO for others on campus, right?

Gosh, who may seem some neat guy or gal and say hey, I want to talk to you about Your GLO! OOPS, may get a new prospect! Da, Me for not getting it!

Yea we can advertise our GLO to others on campus by the brothers wearing the letters and if we do allow others to wear the shirts, we allow them to wear shirts with PIKE on it and not ΠKA, since pike is our nickname. Im sorry but I just see the meaning behind the letters as being more than just the letters.
