When I was in school, it was typical to trade sweatshirts with what ever fraternity you was your partner in Greek Week or Homecoming. It was no big deal because every chapter on our campus did it, and there were over 3000 in the Greek system at the time.

I also can't tell you the number Phi Tau shirts I got off one of my best friends who kept leaving them in my car.
So it's okay for nonGreeks to wear letters and for Greeks to wear one another's letters? No.

Exactly.

I rarely see NPHC orgs hand out event tshirts but the ones I have seen tend to spell out the org name rather than use the symbols.

Unless it is like a community day or step show shirt and every organization's letters are listed.

Chaos, At my school if there was a community clean up that all student orgs participated in, so all orgs names were listed.

That makes sense. I have a step show tshirt with all the orgs names spelled out. God forbid I rock your letters in any way shape or form.

I guess that would depend on the school then...it doesn't happen *often* at mine, but it's not unheard of. My boyfriend gives me his set of stitched SigEp letters to wear quite often; it's not a secret to the other guys in his chapter. I think that at some schools, the chapter members just care whether it's a girl that's been around a while vs. if she's some girl the member's been dating for a few weeks. I would hope that if a member from another school happened to see me in them, he wouldn't think that I just grabbed them up randomly

It should be based on your organizations' standards. That shouldn't vary by chapter but I acknowledge that it does. It also varies by time period.

I don't think boyfriends and girlfriends should be wearing anything. That should be reserved for husbands and wives who care enough to affiliate with their spouse's organization in that manner. Even then husbands and wives often are not given letters to wear and/or the husbands and wives refuse to wear them.
