Embarrsing another GDI wearing Greek Shirts

I mean, the Greek store I went to in STL had a ton of NPHC stuff (and I know they're licensed for the NPC stuff at least), and I don't know that they would have stopped me from buying any of it. And if asked I suspect a small lie would cover everything.

Just what I was thinking...can they really tell if you're a member or not?

It is just a special kind of pathetic to pretend you are a member of a GLO when you are not.
That said, I wouldn't take it into my own hands and act as the G Phi B police. I might make sure everyone I knew was aware that someone wasn't actually a member, but looking at our creed I'm pretty sure our founders wouldn't want physical force to be used (!).

I don't think anyone ever asked me for ID. In fact, when I was in school, I bought a shirt for my cousin, who is in another GLO as a birthday gift

I don't think vendors would ever require member id numbers. I mean maybe if it was something only from the GLO's own website. I know though that non- greeks and greeks off other GLOs can buy stuff from Herff Jones and other online greek vendors. Many of my sisters have gotten chapter guards or nicer badges from their non-greek parents.

As for buying stuff from other GLOs, one of the local greek vendors at my campus had tons of stuff for all GLOs. I have bought stuff there that is not from my GLO as gifts for other friends (I used to work in an office with a bunch of AKAs and SAEs). I never had a problem. If someone knew that I was Theta and asked why I was buying something that was AKA, I would simply tell them it was a gift or something.
