Yes, this is a very "Serious Matter"!
Last year a female 7th grade student wore a Kappa Alpha Psi jacket to school. I asked her who jacket was she wearing. She stated that it was her father's jacket. Then I asked if he was aware that she was wearing it. Of course, she said, "Yes." Then I explained to her why she should not be wearing his jacket. She never wore that jacket to school again. I don't think her father knew that she was sporting his jacket around school.

Yes we are taught how to "get rid of" 'nalia that can't be passed down and so forth. That has never stopped 'nalia from showing up at Goodwills and at homeless shelters.
Regarding getting stuff from people who wear them. That works better in theory than in practice. Most of us haven't been undergrads in years so our interactions with people are different. A kid doesn't have to give you that KAPsi jacket. In fact, no one has to give you anything. I know NPHCers who used to carry white tshirts around in case they ran into a nonmember wearing letters. Years later, those NPHCers don't care as much--unless they don't have a life. If nonmembers and perps are understanding and able to relinquish the 'nalia, they will hand over the stuff. If they don't want to for whatever reason, move on as to not have an assault charge. I still know Greeks who will inflict physical harm over such things. Those are folks with nothing to lose apparently.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
