In this case, they were obviously Greek letters to us but some people may've thought they weren't--especially since he shortened the "P."
I don't watch MTV but I do know that they cannot aire trademark letters without the permission of the org. Most folk in greekdom recognized it immediately. Of course if you are unaware or outside of greekdom, you wouldn't know but that's just it, he is in a fraternity so he knew. It just baffles me that he would even put on those letters for TV. I would have been embarrassed and scarred to run on stage with A Phi A letters on with the last A shortened. So disrespectful...Oh well, its being handled so let me quit thinking about it.

Of course he knew.

I was talking about the MTV viewers who don't know Greek letters when they see them.

I was watching the show when it first aired and I couldn't even enjoy the performance because I was too busy trying to see what the third letter was until I realized it was a cut off rho. I'm glad that HQ is looking into though. It may seem small to some but we definitely don't want non-greeks (those who didn't attend college and have no clue) thinking it's okay to sport greek nalia and especially in the media.
