Wear letters at a bar??

Alumnae and collegians don't always follow NPC rules and guidelines in their everyday lives. Just because they think it's OK doesn't make it OK.

I've seen alums wearing letters to the bar. While letters are something we probably shouldn't wear, there's a big difference between drinking in letters and just hanging out with friends and drinking in letters and acting the shitfaced fool.

Do you mean like wearing lettered hoodies/t-shirts to a bar?

I don't think it's appropriate to wear shirts/hoodies/etc to the bar, especially if you are going to drink.

We were always told as collegiates, that we were to never drink, go to a bar or a club or even a party that served alcohol wearing letters.

Yes that is true. I remember being told by some of the older girls that "drinking in letters was reserved for alumnae." I never understood why it was ok for alums to do that. If it's "disrespectful" to do when you are a collegiate, then it's "disrespectful" to do it as an alum. It's not like you stop representing your org once you become an alum.

Oh, I never said, "Even though it's not ok, it must be because they drink in letters." I mean, I thought it might be ok in their organization. This is going back to shortly after I was initiated. I saw them drinking in letters, I knew we couldn't in my organization, but I didn't know about theirs. And even today, I'm not about to lecture them concerning the rules regarding wearing letters and drinking.

And yes, they wear jackets, t-shirts, hoodies... everything... at parties, at mixers, and out to the bars (the corner bars, not the clubs - that might be weird clothing for a club).

I mean if you are a wet organization then I don't see any problem with it. I think an individual should always try to be respectful and not act a fool when representing your organization, but at the same time if you're drinking responsibly then why not?

Rules banning drinking while in letters are not common among fraternities. They are common in most if not all NPC sororities.

Eh. Chacun à son goût. Vive la différence!
