this is how i would have thought most where. i have never heard of pledges wearing letter n such. in my eyes that defeats the point of saying they earn it. i mean why? i love the idea of the jerseys with the screen letters on it and then the stiched letters after they corss. thats cool .

In my sorority, you do not "earn" letters. New Members go through a new member education where they learn about the organization.

After you figure out what to do about your sorority (the one who has the same letters as an already existing group), you might want to invest in some spell check. Thanks.

OTW, thanks for taking the time to post what many of us were thinking. Personally, I was just too tired of this tired ol' thread to post!


Oh, and Jessie...

just to clear something up

I am obviously not familiar with ALL GLOs in existence. I (and that means I as in me personally in my experience or to my knowledge at my school) have never heard of any of them allowing anyone in the NMEP/pledges to wear letters. I mean non initiated members wear letters but, again in my experiance wearing letters was something to look forward to thats why it was strange for me to hear that it is allowed in some orgs. Hey you learn something new everyday
As a member of the Greek senate the term that was used (again at my school) was "earn" this is why I used that word, that Is what I am familiar with. It does not have anything to do with hazing when the GS used it. Think of it like this just as you earn an A in class by studying, getting help when needed, understanding and retaining the information then passing the class. It is in its own way very similar to the new member ed program. That is what I meant
furthermore, I personally wouldn’t want to be a part of something where they ridicule, humiliate, inflict physical or mental harm etc. “to belong” That’s just me. I come from a long line of family members who have though, so I have seen it and it just does not appeal to me at all.
Once again I have to say that this is MY personal experience with I have had in front of me. That post that seemed incredibly misconstrued was not meant to sound like I was speaking of all orgs or anything like that. Every1 has a different processes and termination…oops did I do it again I mean terminology…lol... even same orgs from different chapters vary in things like that. So if I gave any1 reason to get defensive my bad.

Hopefully I spelled everything right …… but if I didn’t I am sure someone will tell me
