Too old to wear letters around?

That's when you wear your W t-shirt with your open sorority jacket over it.

33girl-you know...the more and more you give your opinion-the more I think you rock! I agree with the above statement.

Me too. I recently heard someone say that she always felt she was open-minded until she realized how closed off she was to opposing viewpoints.

In our small organization we only keep one lettered 'item' after we graduate, all the rest gets passed down to the younger actives. This is mostly t-shirts and sweatshirts and the occasional tote or whatnot. So, most of our alumni only have one lettered sweatshirt.
I think I'll still wear mine after I graduate. I love wearing letters, even when i'm not around campus and people have no IDEA what the colors and letters mean.

What is your problem? Why do you keep seeking me out? I'm allowed to agree with someone without your attitude. You must have an inferiority complex.

What in the world are you talking about? My response was to a post, not to you as an individual. Anyway, I'm AGREEING with you.

When I see posts I don't appreciate, I respond. When I see posts I agree with, I respond. It's not personal. I do not know you.

It seemed as though you were referring to me. Ever since that one thread, I've decided that I am very closed minded because I don't have much use for people who try and put me down because I have pride in my school or my organization.

Look. Once and for all. My issue is not school pride. I have it too. My issue was that the haughty attitude that came through the posts when you were tormenting the OP. You mentioned your THREE degrees many times and you gave yourself undue authority in the selection process at Penn State. It was VERY offensive to me.

It is this attitude that makes people think that educated people (and too often, GREEKS) are elite and can't relate to the majority working class population we have in the United States. Why in the world would you make such statements as you did and then get upset with me for protesting?

Furthermore, you jumped on the bandwagon with the other poster in response to me without taking the time to understand that this poster has a history of hostility toward me. She simply doesn't like me. That's fine, but there's no reason you should ever take her seriously when she responds to my posts.

I hardly see how you should get pissed off because I have pride. It offended you? Wow. That's great. I don't really care if you were offended. When people on here talk about the great schools they have attended-I applaud that. There are many highly educated people on this forum with incredible schools on their resumes. If me simply talking about my pride in my education (which I paid for by myself-to include paying for it with my money I received when I returned from IRAQ) offends you-then you need to find other things to get "offended" about. Maybe you feel insecure for a reason. Don't blame that on me.

I can understand her not liking you. I agree with her sentiment. I didn't have an issue with you prior to that thread. I always thought you seemed like a cool person. Now, I do not care for you.

This is NOT the thread. If you have issues with me, you can PM me. Otherwise, I don't want to put garbage out into this thread because it was not about my disdain for your unneccessary attitude towards me.

To discuss what this thread is ACTUALLY about, I will say that I am wearing my letters now. I intend on heading to the library in my letter hoodie. It is a warm hoodie, so why not?
